Being lazy, I can definitely relate. It both benefits you and doesn't. When assigned a task, you'll find a lazy way to finish the job, but doing simple things like walking to the fridge, that's way too much work. On those rare days where you actually are productive, you love the feeling of getting your work done and having the rest of the day to relax, but try as you might, it's hard to stop being lazy. So the question is, how do you stop being lazy? I have compiled a list to limit your unproductiveness. These have helped me in the past, and hopefully they will be a favour to you. 1) Get A Coach Very off topic, but while I was rereading this I though 'coach' was 'couch'. The title would do the opposite of what message the article is trying to convey. What I mean in getting a coach is to get a friend or family to encourage you to be less lazy. For example, my younger sister is a devil sent from Satan (as much as I love her). I asked her to do what she can to get me off my butt. To summarize, this really inspired me to get out more, although mostly in fear. Haha...I'm not kidding. 2) Smart Schedule Following a schedule is a lot harder than it sounds. If you're lazy, which is probably why you're here, then it's safe to say that you're not going to follow the agenda after a couple of days. When I say write a schedule, I don't mean write how at 7am, you wake up and take a shower for exactly 10 minutes, or else the rest of your day is ruined. Make the timing more adjustable. For instance, on a weekend, I wake up between 8-11am. I give myself a wider range because depending on what I did the night before, I need to determine wether I need more sleep or not. I already know that afterwards I follow my morning routine, so I exclude that from my list. Instead, I write the next thing I have to do during the day; in this case, my chores. Let's say I start at 2pm, but I obviously don't know the time I'll be done by. I either write 3pm, so if I finish early I give myself free time before that time hits, or I write chores, shower, and exercise. That's so when I finish my chores, I go shower and do the rest on my schedule. 3) Get Inspired This may just be me, but whenever I watch a video, or read something online about someone else doing something amazing, I feel inspired and want to get up from seat to be productive. Know what you get influenced by and make a list of those things. When you're feeling like a complete couch potato, view the contents of the list and hopefully that does something! 4) Do Simple Tasks Right As You See Them Getting in the habit of doing simple tasks right as you see them assists you in everyday life by reducing how much you procrastinate. Having something small on your to-do list makes it seem like you have a crowded schedule, but ridding of those tasks makes you feel less cramped. For example, throwing out the trash takes less than five minutes. Doing that first allows you to believe that you have more time for the rest of the day. 5) Reward Yourself At any moment you do something distinctively productive in your life, write it down and treat it as the money you earn to spend, each time being one dollar. This means whatever money you have stored up, you can use it if what you've done is within the money you have. To make it easier to understand, let's say you have twenty dollars. You finished your homework on time, and done all the chores, earning you two dollars. Now you can only spend two dollars of the twenty dollars you have.
