Grammar & Usage
How it works
This expression is formed by combining the negative adverbial '無理なく' (without overstraining), the adverbial '適当に' (appropriately/moderately), and the transitive Godan verb 'こなす' (to handle, manage, or execute). It describes an approach of completing tasks adequately without stressing over perfectionism. Syntactically, it takes a direct object marked with the particle 'を', although the object is often implied in context.
