Looking busy while doing nothing

Looking busy while doing nothing — A practical guide to furrowed brows, strategic scrolling, and the art of the very important empty document.

Contents

Looking busy is a performance discipline older than cubicles. Practitioners maintain a serious facial expression while their cursor blinks in a document titled “FINAL_v7_REAL.docx.”

Key techniques include nodding at unread emails, typing aggressively during silent Zoom moments, and carrying a notebook as a prop.

Wikipidia does not endorse looking busy. Wikipidia merely documents it with deep respect.
