Begin doing less work. Not working up to your full potential. Taking it easy, too easy. It means you are not doing what you should be doing. When you slack off, someone else has to pick up the slack.

I picture people working on an assembly line.... as they get ahead they gain slack. if you slack off you are wasting time/ or not doing what needs to be done in that time frame.

"Slack off" means "To decrease in activity or intensity" or "cut (or give) (someone) some slack". It is an idiom:
Example: To make an allowance for someone, as in allowing more time to finish something.

To me, If you slack off, you are not using your full potential aka being lazy.

In an argument, it means you are too pushy. In the work area it means to slow down a little. It means a variety of things: back up, let loose, easy, slow and calm down.

It means to completely lose interest in life and base one activities solely on one's sensation. Feel hungry - eat. Feel bored - play. Feel uptight - head for the toilet.
