How to cope with laziness?

Tips, how to cope with laziness , prepared for you not only I, but my girlfriend Nastya( a year ago - a big lazy, as she called herself).

How to deal with laziness or. .. with something else?

Once I subtracted the clever idea that laziness, as such does not exist.

And if a person does not want to do some work, then there are quite objective reasons for this, and not an abstract "I'm messing around".

I shared this thought with Nastya, who regularly complained to me that she does not have time because of laziness.

The girlfriend has become thoughtful and has told: "And you know, you are right".

And she told me what prevents her from working:

- I came to the office, I had to drink traditional coffee and colleagues and gossip. Then you need to check the mail and reply to the letters.
Well, what if not all the correspondence is working? People are waiting for an answer.
How quickly dinner arrived!
After dinner, I want to look one eye at what is happening in Facebook. Stuck for 2 hours.

And so on all day.
After all, I do not sit in a post in one place, like I'm not lazy, and the number of unfulfilled cases is growing and growing.

Gradually, Nastya realized that it was not laziness that prevented her from working, but lack of organization and lack of schedule.

This is one of the most common factors that turn us into loafers.

Reasons for laziness and forcing us to cope with it

Laziness is different:

Physical laziness ( you simply can not raise your hands to start cleaning, but your brain works great and ready to write texts);
Psychological laziness ( in your head broke the switch, which is responsible for performance, although you feel great and could have completed a couple of exploits).

But from whatever laziness you do not suffer at the moment, there is always a reason that caused it.

How to deal with laziness?

Before you look for ways to deal with laziness, you need to understand what causes it.

The most common reasons are:

Congenital character trait.

You just were born lazy and never thought it was a vice, preferring to be lazy while others are working.
Disorganization.

I already talked about it.
Fear of failure.

You are not really lazy.

You are just afraid that you will not be able to cope with the work, so you do not want to start it.
Unwillingness to take responsibility.

Let's say you know that by writing this material perfectly, you will become the deputy editor-in-chief.

But you, after presenting what kind of responsibility it is and how much work on you will start to work, start to delay writing the article until it's too late.
Handra, boredom, depression.

Everything you do is not interesting to you, and to force yourself to do unloved work day by day, you have to be a very strong person( well, or stupid, because I see no reason that prevents you from finding a lesson for yourself).
Low self-esteem.

You do not believe that you can do this job well, so you are too lazy.
Self-harm.

You are a masochist who subconsciously tries to fail the task in order to enjoy the anger of the authorities.
Imaginary difficulties.

You yourself inflated the problem from a routine task and convinced yourself that only a professor can cope with it and as a result, the fear of the amount of work makes you lazy.
Parental settings: "Do not get ahead of the engine," "Initiative is punishable," "The horses are dying from work," etc.

5 components of successful struggle against laziness

If you managed to find out the reason for laziness, then you should start acting.

I want to suggest an action algorithm of 5 points that will help you cope with laziness:

Remove all restrictions.

We get rid of fear, uncertainty, stop making elephant out of the fly, forget the ridiculous parental attitudes, heal the depression, etc.

That is, at the initial stage you need to get rid of the factor causing laziness.
We set a goal.

For example, today I have to write two articles for my site or today I will do a spring cleaning in the apartment.
We adjust to work.

Remove everything that can hinder you: close social networks, turn off telephones, tell colleagues that the next 2 hours will not approach you, etc.
Let's get to work.

Even through "I do not want"!Slowly, but confidently, we begin to act.

95 out of 100, that you gradually get involved and it will go more fun.
We motivate ourselves.

If you feel that you want to throw everything halfway, think about what you will get by doing this job.

5 tips for coping with laziness

These recommendations were prepared for you by Nastya.

They help her cope with laziness( or lack of organization, which prevents her from working).

Perhaps you will be able to use something as well:

Put things in order at the workplace.

The desktop should be clean, otherwise you will be constantly distracted.
Organize your work, for example, using a schedule and do not violate it:
- 9.00-9.20 - morning coffee with colleagues;
- 9.20- 10.00 - checking the mail;
- 10.00-13.00 - writing the first text;13.00-14.00 - lunch;
- 14.00-14.30 - social networks or watching news;
- 14.30-17.30 - writing the second text.
Perform the most challenging tasks in the morning, when performance is improved.

If you start with an easy job, then the difficult one can remain unfulfilled and you will become a lazy bugger.
Learn to switch.

If some task does not go and its implementation is not urgent, postpone it and do something else( start doing another job, and do not mess around!).
Reward yourself.

Have you written a good text?

Reward yourself with a cup of tea, a delicious candy, 15 minutes on Facebook, etc.

Have an excellent presentation and earned a prize?

Do not spend it all on pasta and detergents.

Buy something nice for yourself.

On the pros and cons of laziness, see in the video:

Do you always need to try to deal with laziness?

I know that my answer will be very much liked by idlers and will cause indignation of workaholic, but I believe that there are times when you do not need to try to cope with laziness.

Sometimes a tired organism, which works for wear, signals to you: "Enough! I need a rest!".

You work 6 days a week for 10 hours, and on Sunday doing cleaning, washing dirty laundry and buying products.

And then absolutely unexpectedly on some Sunday you want to lie all day at home with an interesting book.

And do it!

Spoil yourself with rest. Be lazy!

You deserve it, because you work so hard.

But of course it is necessary to distinguish the request of the body for respite from banal laziness.

If you do not want to do anything and constantly rest, you have a daily problem, then you are a common slacker who just needs to find a way, how to cope with the laziness of , otherwise you are unlikely to achieve anything in this life.

Lazy people do not succeed.
