Laziness

Why are people lazy? Is it because some just have it to easy? Or possiblt some just don't sweat it?

I have found myself in this category lately.

My house (apartment) has been needing a massive cleaning for the past couple days (months) & I just haven't built the ambition to get R done.

Well tonight I said that I had to do something & shut the computer off. In 45 minutes I accomplished getting the kitchen cleaned & dishes double washed. I wash them conventionally then put them into the DW.

I even got the dining room cleaned and the floor vacuumed in that room.

Got 2 loads of clothes washed & now getting them going into the dryers.

I'm just here on a break, but I gotta get this done. I just wonder why I've been so damn lazt lately not to do it knowing that it needs to be done.

With me it's the medication

Wednesday is the day for a reduction (weening off).

For some it could be called : No Ambition, Worn out, Don't Worry Be Happy

I've been jobless for the past three months. I worked for a company that closed because the owner finally decided to retire. I was paid a large enough 'severance' that I could take my time finding a new job. So for three months I've been doing .....well, nothing. I slept late, or stayed up late, and generally did what ever I wanted to do. I was the pure definition of lazy! I would clean the sink once a week, though it usually needed it once a day, I just ignored any projects that needed to be done, because I just didn't feel like doing them. After 11 years of hard physical labor, long hours, little or no vacations, and dealing with many difficult customers and their situations, I was glad to do whatever I wanted for awhile. Now that I start my new career on Monday, I am relaxed and ready to charge hard! So being lazy in my case helped me recharge and get motivated again. I found after two months of doing 'nothing', my mind was screaming for challenges - I just couldn't get enough things to read and learn. I went through many logic puzzles very quickly and was constantly looking for mental exercises. I decided that meant I was ready to get back at it!

I dunno, some people are like that. I can work all day, doing anything, but I need someone to constantly hound me to do it. I have little to no motivation to do it on my own.

I've been lazy ever since I got married. But it is so funny, all the chores still get done!

I think of it this way, if I work my **** off, and I'm too tired to run when danger comes my way, I'm an idiot. That's why I live in constant preparation to run if say, an earthquake hits, or, a fire starts, or terrorists strike in my living room. It's tough to live sitting on the couch or at the computer, but you never know when you might need to run and if you can't, it your own fault folks! Conserve energy, your life might depend on it!

I'm very lazy... too lazy to clean up, often... too lazy to get up early... usually too lazy to go to bed, too...

I think I'm burned out from school.... I'm working full time and all, but I still would rather do nothing.

This is an interesting topic. I have to be doing something interesting to really be motivated. I would probably be called lazy when it comes to dull, mundane tasks.
