It turns out lazy people in our world are much more than necessary, so today we will learn how to deal with laziness .

And most importantly, we will understand the reasons that cause us to apathy and unwillingness to do anything.

Laziness or something else: how to deal with something that does not exist?


I think that in the world there are not so many people who would never surrender to captivity to a hideous monster - laziness.

Yes there is a sin to conceal, sometimes I myself have to accumulate all the forces to make myself work.

And there are even cases( Rarely! And I'm terribly ashamed of it!), When "I'm an idler" takes precedence over "I'm a worker".

To eradicate the habit of messing around, I even went to the training, where I was promised to teach, how to deal with the laziness of .

What was my surprise when the coach Marina started the lesson with not ready-made recipes, but with a mini-lecture on the topic: "There is no laziness".

It turns out that this word we cover the lack of motivation, poor state of health, fatigue, fear and much more.

It is necessary to fight not with laziness, but with the reasons that caused it.

Therefore, the old recipes: "Force yourself!", "Work through I can not" - not always effective.

I'll tell you honestly that at first the words of the trainer embarrassed me, but then, when we started to parse each of the bouts of the laziness of the participants of our small group, I realized that Marina was absolutely right: there was always a reason why I did not want to do that orother work.

Attacks of laziness do not attack just like that, unless, of course, you are a fairy-tale Emelya, who is only willing to lie on the stove.

Why do we have to fight with laziness?


To begin with, you will understand: you are a lazy ordinary( that is, a useless creature who does not want to do anything at all in this life) or is a normal person who is sometimes forced to fight idleness.

I do not intend to help the first category until they decide for themselves that it's time to finish the vegetative life and start to change.

But the second type of people, before moving on to the prescriptions for fighting laziness, you need to find its cause.

Here are the most common:

  1. Lack of motivation.

    Most of the time we're messing around just because of this.

    Any normal person wants to understand what he is doing this or that job, what benefit it will bring to him personally or to other people, and what he will get by doing this job well.

    If the person hears in answer to his questions: "Do it, because it's necessary, but why you need it, I do not know myself", then the desire to do something usually disappears.

  2. No remuneration.

    One of the tasks of the boss completed Vasily's carpenter, performed the second task, performed the third one, and there was no reaction from the boss( not that nobody was in a hurry to write out the award, even sorry "for Vasenka sorry").

    It is clear that before the fourth task on the carpenter will attack a laziness.

  3. Fear of failure.

    It often occurs when the task is complex and it seems to us that it is impossible to cope with it.

    Then we begin to cover the fear of disgracing or disappointing others with the phrases "Oh, I'm so reluctant" and other.

  4. Complexes.

    Yes, yes! Your subconscious mind sends a signal: "After completing this work, you will earn a large sum of money, get a promotion, the chief will praise you, etc."

    And then you tell him: "No, I do not deserve to be rich and successful. I am a loser. I'll pretend I'm too lazy. "

  5. Poor health or chronic fatigue.

    You are not really lazy, you are just sick, you can not sleep for a long time, suffocate under a pile of other unfulfilled cases, etc.

  6. Bad mood.

    You quarreled with your loved one, tore a new skirt on the way to work, burned the pie, etc.etc.

    When you are frustrated, you simply can not concentrate on work, so you drop your hands and say: "I do not want to do anything today."

7 opportunities to fight with laziness


As you know, I can not offer you a single recipe for dealing with laziness, but if you understand the reasons that caused unwillingness to work and desire to do nothing, then one of the suggested ways will surely help you:

  1. Start to work slowly.

    Sometimes, looking at the amount of work, you begin to fear that you need a company of soldiers and a month of time to deal with it.

    And having begun, you do not have time to recover, as already time and hands to wash after successfully executed task.

  2. Find the right motivation.

    Think like this: "Now I'll finish this article now and get a fee of 300 hryvnia, which means I can buy a good mascara that will not crumble and make me look like a panda."

    It is understood that this is an approximate text, but dreams of reward are frightening laziness.

  3. Change the activity.

    You need to finish the course work, but do not want to, even kill.

    You do not have to force yourself to seize the computer.

    Better get into the closet, wash the dishes, bake delicious cookies.

    After physical work you probably want something intelligent.

  4. Relax properly.

    If the cause of your laziness is the usual fatigue, then it's good enough to rest so that this monster will run away without looking back.

    Lie down to sleep an hour or two, look at some interesting light film.

    If you can, and do postpone the work of the next day, to tackle it with renewed strength.

  5. Remove everything that distracts you.

    When we are lazy, we automatically start looking for something to distract.

    Then in the course are social networks, sites with gossip about the stars, weight loss recipes, newspapers with anecdotes and much more.

    Even a fly that crawls on the table can distract you.

    Close all unnecessary sites or completely disable the Internet for a while, if you do not need it for work, clean up the desk and get down to business!

  6. Throw away bad thoughts.

    Remember what Scarlett O'Hara told herself?"I will think about it tomorrow".

    Use her tactics.

    You do not need to focus on quarrels with close, technical failures, reprimands from the boss and other negative aspects.

    You will have time to sort them out, but for now you need to work.

  7. Believe that you deserve success.

    And he will overtake you only when you learn to cope with idleness.

And yet I decided to share with you a video about how

is lazy and how to overcome it.

Forward to viewing! It will be interesting!😉


Do not tell me that can not fight the laziness of , it can only surrender.

I know perfectly well that this is not true.

Before difficulties, only weaklings and assholes pass.
