Hello, fellow minimalists. This is Mark from Minimalist Living, and today I’m going to share with you a revolutionary method to get a pay raise instantly by doing less. Yes, you heard me right. You can work less for the same money, or even more. Sounds too good to be true? Well, it’s not. It’s based on two simple principles: supply and demand and perceived value.

Supply and Demand

The first principle is supply and demand. You see, the more you work, the more you supply your labor to the market. And the more you supply, the less your labor is valued. It’s basic economics. So, what you need to do is to reduce your supply of labor. How? By working less, of course. The less you work, the less you supply, and the more your labor is valued. Simple, right?

Perceived Value

The second principle is perceived value. This is where you need to be a bit more strategic. You see, the less you work, the more you create an impression of being busy and important. And the more busy and important you seem, the more your labor is valued. It’s basic psychology. So, what you need to do is to increase your perceived value. How? By being more lazy, of course. The more lazy you are, the more you create an impression of being busy and important, and the more your labor is valued. Brilliant, right?

The Method

Now that you understand the two principles, let me show you how to apply them in practice. Here is the method:

  • Step 1: Start working less. Reduce your working hours, take longer breaks, and avoid overtime. This will reduce your supply of labor and increase its value.
  • Step 2: Start being more lazy. Ignore your emails, phone calls, and messages. Avoid meetings, deadlines, and projects. This will increase your perceived value and make you seem busy and important.
  • Step 3: Wait for your pay raise. Your boss will notice your reduced supply and increased value, and will offer you a pay raise to keep you happy and motivated. Or, if your boss doesn’t, you can ask for one yourself. You have the leverage, after all.

And that’s it. That’s how you get a pay raise instantly by doing less. It’s a minimalist way of living. You don’t need to work hard, or work smart. You just need to work less, and be lazy. That’s the secret to success. Trust me, it works. I’ve been doing it for years, and I’m now the CEO of Minimalist Living. And I only work one hour a week. How’s that for minimalism?
