You are not slacking. If you take 10gr daily, you compress the usual benefits on creatine into a shorter period of time. This means you must cycle it, as the gains would taper-off over time. Furthermore cycling would ensure avoidance of unnecessary pressure on the kidney and liver. Besides, depending on body weight and metabolism, the body will eliminate excess supplemented creatine, so taking a huge daily serving of creatine can also be wasteful.
The corollary of this is that if you take about 3gr of creatine daily, and if this is combined with effective creatine-cofactors/phosphocreatine and ATP-precursors, you would see gradual-but-continual gains over time, avoid excess pressure on your kidneys and liver, and cycling would be optional (and not a must).
