Bare minimum

 means the smallest amount of effort, work, or responsibility needed to meet a basic requirement — nothing extra. It’s what you do when you’re tired, overwhelmed, or just trying to survive the moment.

Examples

1- During a really stressful week, he wasn’t aiming to be perfect. He focused on the bare minimum — showing up, replying, and getting through the day.

2- She used to go above and beyond at work, but after months of burnout, she decided to do the bare minimum to protect her energy.
