Here are some examples of how we use the idioms you tried to use above just to help you with them:
bogged down (when you can't do anything else because you're focused on something complicated / hard / time consuming)
Don't get bogged down in the detail! We just need a quick decision.
I'm really bogged down with work at the moment. I haven't got time for anything else.
sweeping changes (often used to talk about big decisions on a massive scale)
The government has made sweeping changes to the welfare system. These changes have had a massive effect on the ordinary people's lives.
to dwindle (to run low / drop by a large amount [negative word])
Support for the ruling party is dwindling in the polls.
There are dwindling food supplies due to the widespread famine in the country.
Finally, "slacking" is a colloquial term; therefore, I have used the word "stop" instead of "prevent" to make the sentence more natural in terms of its formality.
