How to overcome laziness?
What is laziness and how to get rid of it? To get rid of laziness, you need to understand what it is. Since ancient times, people have been constantly struggling with laziness, it always remains the most important problem. Laziness is the plague. There is no specific cure for it.
If we are concerned about health, we run to the doctor. When laziness overcomes us, it is difficult to immediately figure out what happened. Although, even if we understand, we do not immediately admit it to ourselves. And without our own recognition, we will not be able to get rid of it. We have to subconsciously understand this.
We can learn a lot about laziness from literature, religion, and also a lot is hidden in folklore. In fables, fairy tales and various books, we can constantly come across the theme of laziness. Laziness is a sin. She is the cause of all misfortune. Laziness must be fought collectively. Getting rid of laziness will not be an easy task.
It is necessary to fight laziness not when it has already taken possession of you, but constantly. Eradicate it initially, so that it does not even get close to you. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get rid of it later.
Signs of laziness.
The sister of boredom is laziness. Boredom comes from having nothing to do, when there is no work, and everyone is tired. This is a state of mind that makes you be indifferent to everything. We can conclude that idleness can lead us to laziness. Therefore, we should always do something, and not just exist.
Stages of laziness:
1. Lack of normal thinking, that is, when you don't give a damn about anything. Scientists say that even in a dream a person still continues to think. Human thought cannot stop for a single minute. If you look from the other side, then everyone sometimes has a state when he thinks about nothing. This can be called a disjointed stream of thoughts. You have to learn to control your thoughts.
2. Things we put off until later. We can often catch ourselves on such thoughts, and not only thoughts, but actions, when we put off everything for tomorrow, or even longer, although we could do it today. We need to overcome this feeling and get rid of laziness by doing work today.
3. The state of melancholy and weakness. If there are no reasons that relate to health, then these are clear signs that mother laziness has come to you.
4. Do nonsense. It often happens when there is a lot of work and we need to concentrate, something interferes with us. This is idleness, it draws in like a swamp, like a boa constrictor slowly devouring its prey.
How can we still get rid of laziness: we need to uproot it with its roots. The fight against laziness should be taken very seriously. An individual method will effectively help get rid of it. Everyone must find a weighty argument and strength to fight it.
Plan how to get rid of laziness.
1. Ask yourself a simple question: “What am I thinking about now?”. If in five seconds you cannot give yourself a reasonable answer, then you need to be on the alert, laziness is already there. She lies in wait for you all the time, and if you succumb to her attraction, she will definitely capture you.
2. Make a promise to yourself that you will not put off anything until tomorrow. But not just an empty promise, but take this as a golden rule. Every night, make a to-do list for tomorrow and follow it clearly. In the evening of the next day, check everything, what is done, what is not. Reward yourself for things you do and penalize yourself for things you don't.
3. If you have no energy at all, lie down for an hour to sleep, remembering to set the alarm. After sleep, take a shower and get back to work.
4. Write down the goals you want to achieve, hang them in a prominent place. This will be an incentive for you.
5. Ask yourself every day: “What did I do today to get closer to my goal? What new did you learn? How did I please myself today? Write it all down in a diary.
6. Develop good habits. At least one per month. Without defeating oneself, no one can cope with laziness. It will be a difficult fight. We must find the strength in ourselves and get rid of laziness once and for all.

I fully agree with the author of the article. Although many people like to say “Laziness is the engine of progress,” laziness still has a very bad effect on a person’s condition. Sometimes I even feel too lazy to get up to drink water, and I sit and suffer from dry mouth. )) Here is also an example, I recently bought a metal 3D puzzle, started to assemble it, spent 2 hours, didn’t finish it, and now after 4 days I can’t start assembling, I immediately start to think that there are small details that I’ll get stuck and laziness wins. ))
That's exactly how it is, I also have when the water runs out, too lazy to run down after it))). And as for things, it's the same, the longer you delay, the more lazy to do it.
“Make a promise to yourself that you will not put off anything until tomorrow.
But not just an empty promise, but take this as a golden rule. Every night, make a to-do list for tomorrow and stick to it.” And if laziness?)) In fact, the advice is very practical, but there is one most ferocious enemy - procrastination. Write about it here!
