last stitch effort

Your final attempt to bring something to completion. Usually giving all you time and effort into that last attempt. Similar to: “the last straw” “the last ditch effort.”
That was my last stitch effort to get into college

Lazy Effort

Where more effort is used, just to be lazy.
Instead of trying to pull the tv remote close to you with a broom handle, why not just get up?

Naa, im just using lazy effort.

. I.e. trying to complete a task in a way that needs more effort, just to be lazy.

E.g. jumping to get something off the top shelf instead of getting the chair.

return on effort employed

The KPi that defined whether or not a task or energy applied to it is really worth the bother.
Rebecca: “oh lord! There’s a Lion heading towards us”
Leon: “oh cripes, we should LITERALLY RUN AS FAST AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE , in order to make sure we are in front of all these other Safari tourists”
Rebecca: “er, no. It’s hot. I don’t need to be the fastest. I just need to be faster than 1 or 2 of them.
And as most of them ate lunch and I only had a date; I fancy my chances”
Leon: “oh gosh; you’re right as usual Honey - there was me always wanting to be the best at everything I do (inc. running from Lions) but actually it’s so hot, the “return on effort employed” or ROEE just isn’t there”
Rebecca: “thank the lord; finally you get it (see also 20:80).
Leon: “yes - I coined that one too”
