Two things matter the most when it comes to laziness and if you can improve just a little bit every day in these two things you can do a lot better in life.
Lack Of Clarity
let’s face it,
In his book, Atomic habit James clear said that
“Many people think they lack motivation, but in reality, they lack clarity” — James Clear
First, you have to know what you want to do on a particular day, without that knowledge you will end up wasting your time on things that do not matter.
How you can do it?
Lots of people are saying you should make a to-do list of tasks that you want to do, I’m not saying that they are wrong but here is a thing this list does not work at least for me.
Why? Cause you may end up getting 10–15 tasks on the list, you will get overwhelmed by seeing it or you will complete the less important tasks first.
What you can do instead?
Make an A-B-C-D-E list, in this way you will focus only on a particular set of the list, so if you can’t complete the whole list you don’t have to worry because you already have completed the most important tasks.
You Think You Have Time
When it comes to time we invest it without calculating loss.
The trouble is, you think you have time.
So if you think you have time then you will end postponing your tasks to tomorrow, and that tomorrow will never come, this will raise procrastination
Most people will always complete their tasks the day before the due date, A procrastinator does not realize that how much time he is wasting because it is a habit for him.
“Yes, you can — if you do everything as if it were the last thing you were doing in your life, and stop being aimless, stop letting your emotions override what your mind tells you, stop being hypocritical, self-centered, irritable.”
What you can do?
Schedule every task in your calendar with the deadline. Because you should rely on the system, not willpower. Here is a thing you have a limited amount of willpower so use it wisely.
It is up to you how you want to use it whether you want to use it on a presentation that you want to make for the office or you want to waste on Instagram deciding which picture should I like.
In short
you are not lazy you just need clarity & you don’t have time, so use it wisely.
