If you don’t know how to overcome laziness, then this article is for you. In it, I will present to you eight steps to stop being lazy and start taking action right now.
At the beginning of the article, I will talk about why laziness is necessary for our body and brain, and then I will present motivating methods aimed at overcoming laziness. If you are lazy, you can go straight from the content to ways to overcome it, but if you are serious, then read from beginning to end.
What to do if you don’t want to do anything?
The most common reasons for human laziness are lack of purpose and low motivation. This is where you should start transforming laziness.
Lack of goals is a serious demotivator. Find your goals, motivation will increase, and laziness will disappear by itself.
Life without goals is like playing football without scoring goals. Interest and meaning of actions are lost.
Goals are the search for ways to realize your plans and desires. Therefore, it is so important to find and realize your desires and goals. I offer several techniques for lazy people to find their desires and turn them into goals.
Why does the body need laziness?
Our brain always strives to store and conserve energy, this is its main function. Therefore, when you set yourself the goal of “learning English” or “start playing sports,” your unconscious begins to give you thoughts about why you shouldn’t do this. This is how it strives to preserve mental and physical energy.
Laziness is the body’s way of saving strength by leaving everything as it is, without changing the conditions of existence. It turns out that we need laziness just like water and air; it is one of the most important mechanisms of our body’s functioning.
But if laziness is so necessary for us, then how can we overcome it? And is this even possible?
Yes, it's possible. There is a technique that will allow you to deceive your wise unconscious and begin to act contrary to its desire to leave everything as it is. Read on.
Technique “What don’t I want?”
As one of the creators of NLP, John Grinder, said: “Most people don’t know what they want, but they know for sure that what they have is not what they want.”
The law of embodiment works in life: what is in our head is embodied. If we don't know what we want, what we don't want will come into being. If there is no goal, the problem is embodied. This is immutable.
When you think about how to get away from poverty and illness, it is poverty and illness that make up the contents of your head. What is brought to life accordingly? Poverty and illness.
In order to find out what you really want, take a sheet of paper and divide it into two parts. In the first column, write down everything you don't want. List the entire list of problems that you don’t like about yourself, others, and the world.
In the second column, write down: what do I want instead. Do not use the particle “not”, remember that not poverty is poverty with the particle “not”. What do you want instead? Where are you going? For example, from fear you can go to confidence, courage, indifference, arrogance, etc. Until you determine the direction, you cannot move. And then, depending on where you are stuck, you will find a way out. Instead of fear, write “self-confidence.” Instead of emotional instability - balance. The list of what you want will be the basis of your goals.
Practical tips to overcome laziness and take action
If you don’t know how to overcome your apathy and finally start taking action, then applying these practical recommendations will certainly help you get started.
- Make sure that you really need and are interested in what you are doing. Scroll through your head again: why and why you are doing this. If you realize that you are following imposed stereotypes and are minding your own business, then the best decision would be to give it up in time.
- Write down the benefits you will receive after completing a specific task. If you feel a fit of laziness, re-read all the points. This way you will increase your personal motivation yourself.
- Frequently replay in your head the reasons that motivated you to start a business. Think about what you will get if you successfully complete the task.
- Pamper yourself with pleasant little things and gifts more often.
- Replace the word “need” in your vocabulary with the word “want”. This trick will reduce internal resistance to action and increase efficiency.
Remember that all these tricks and tips only work when they are put into practice.
Don’t expect that reading, or even memorizing this information will help you get rid of laziness once and for all and force you to act. Don’t expect an immediate effect, but start working systematically: changing yourself and your thoughts.
Technique "For example"
Allows you to move from just a desire to a desire that can be satisfied. Psychologist Michel Lejoyeau argues that with the word “for example” it is impossible to remain captive to the vagueness of generalizations and the fog of desires. Therefore, he recommends entering into a dialogue with yourself:
“I wish my life was more interesting.
– In what area, for example?
- At work.
– What kind of work do you see as more interesting for you, for example?
– This is a job in which I would be more creative, more independent...
“Which one, for example?” - and so on.
This technique will help you get specific and “pull” goals out of your desires.
To take training
With the help of special psychological methods, you can force yourself to work and free yourself from laziness forever. If it is difficult to solve this problem on your own, and your friends do not agree to play the role of controllers, come to the effective “Brain Detoxification” training. The training will charge you with energy and motivation for a long time.
As a result, you will be able to:
- restructure your brain for work and concentrate on what is important in your life;
- get rid of increased levels of stress and anxiety;
- get rid of negative thinking;
- manage your attention;
- take responsibility for decisions;
- promise yourself and not break your promises.
The training will help you realize what you need to do to work effectively without laziness and apathy. The presented program is aimed not so much at motivation as at changing thinking. As you know, the result depends on the attitude towards the matter. During the training, you will learn how to find motivation to complete even the most boring tasks by changing your thinking.
The intensive course is conducted by a well-known practicing psychologist here and abroad, a consultant for various shows, as well as a freelance adviser to the FBI and FSB services - Oleg Kalinichev.
Technique “7 steps from desire to goal”
Helps you turn desires into motivating goals
Step 1. Set clear criteria for achieving the goal.
Answer the question: How will I know that my goal has been achieved? For example, if the goal is to visit New York, will it be achieved when I step off the plane, visit the Statue of Liberty, or live in this city for a couple of weeks?
Step 2. Determine the price of the issue.
What do we usually pay for achieving our goals? Time, money, health, love, nerves, refusal of pleasure, etc. Determine what price you are willing to pay for your goal.
Step 3. Set an exact date for achieving your goal.
Try to be as specific as possible about the year, month, day and hour you want to achieve your goal.
Step 4. Conduct a challenge analysis.
You must understand that your path will not be strewn with roses. You will definitely face difficulties. What do people often do? He comes up with excuses for himself: if I were younger/older, if I had money, this doesn’t work, no one helps me, etc. It is important to come up with solutions, not excuses. Write down the three main dangers that may stand in the way of achieving your goal and options for solving them.
Advertising will be placed here
Step 5. Find a symbolic reward.
Imagine a sport without medals, cups, pedestals and titles. Surely, many athletes will not be able to perform without these symbolic awards. Treat achieving a goal like a sport and figure out how you will reward yourself?
Step 6: Make a written contract with yourself.
Contracts, especially written ones, give us a sense of responsibility. Take advantage of this. Making a contract is easy: just write down the results of the previous steps on paper. Subject of the contract - criteria for achieving the goal, payment - issue price, deadlines - execution date, force majeure - analysis of difficulties, bonuses for fulfilling the contract - symbolic reward.
Step 7: Read the contract OUT LOUD every day.
Despite the strangeness of this point, it will be the main “self-drive” for a person. If you read every day and do nothing, the feeling of guilt will increase exponentially and there will be only two options: either start doing it or abandon this goal forever.
How to get rid of laziness
Laziness actually means avoiding difficulties and problematic situations.
Alfred Adler
How much we could achieve in this life if we knew how to defeat one of our most powerful enemies - laziness!
However, even knowing about the harmfulness of laziness, many of us cannot cope with it. Laziness dominates many people, not allowing them to fully realize themselves - it destroys a person’s life, turning it into an empty and meaningless existence. However, you, my dear readers, have already taken the path of getting rid of laziness - having found this article on the Internet and intending to read it to the end. In it I will tell you how to get rid of laziness and start living a new - more lively and interesting life, in which you can achieve any success you want. I will teach you to overcome your laziness and help you become an active and purposeful person, capable of setting ambitious goals and achieving them. So let’s agree - you promise me to read this article to the end - carefully, slowly, delving into every word I wrote, and I will share with you very useful knowledge that will help you cope with laziness. Agreed? Great. Then let's start studying this issue.
So, let me first explain to you in a nutshell what laziness is and why it is needed. You understand, if nature has built something into us, it means it is needed for something. Laziness is an instinctive program for conserving energy, which is a derivative of the instinct of self-preservation, as well as an adaptive skill that allows you to adapt to situations that require passive behavior. And to some extent, laziness is even the engine of progress, since it helps people who do not want to exert themselves physically to think very creatively, thanks to which they manage to achieve maximum results with minimal energy expenditure. Here we are talking specifically about mental tension, about ingenuity, about the desire to do something in a new way, so as not to follow a path already trodden by someone - but to find your own solution to a particular problem, or your own path in life. In this sense, laziness helps a person move to a higher quality level of worldview, but this does not mean that it leads him to idleness, from which a person begins to decay and degrade; rather, it calls him to more perfect actions, to more energy-efficient work. Roughly speaking, if you don’t want to go far for water, come up with a water supply system; if you don’t want to dig a hole by hand, come up with an excavator. Laziness protects our body and helps us find easy ways to solve certain problems. But if we don’t listen to it, but follow its lead, then it will lead us to a state of doing nothing, in which we don’t want to solve any problems at all. Our body should not wear out, but it should not rot either. Therefore, laziness, on the one hand, forces us to save our energy and use it effectively, and on the other hand, it turns us into slackers and parasites, who want nothing and cannot do anything. Our organism, our body, wants to keep itself alive and functional for as long as possible, in a way known to it, thanks to instincts. It, like everything else in this world, has its own service life. Over time, our body wears out, and the more we strain it, both physically and mentally, the faster it becomes unusable and dies. Therefore, consciously or not, we take care of ourselves when we are lazy, adapting to any loads that harm our body in such a way that, with a minimum of effort, we achieve the results we need, sometimes minimal and sometimes maximum.
Thus, friends, the psychology of laziness, if you don’t delve into it too much, is our body’s need to preserve vital energy - vital juices, thanks to which it extends its service life. However, like any other instinct, laziness does not always take into account the peculiarities of various life situations that a modern person faces, therefore it often does not meet his interests, but rather, on the contrary, deprives him of the opportunity to act competently and generally act when necessary. Instincts are not capable of identifying with a high degree of accuracy certain of our needs in each specific situation, they cannot foresee possible scenarios for the development of events in our lives, they are tuned only to satisfy our current needs, right here and now - in the most primitive way. That’s why it’s so difficult for us to explain to our body that sometimes we need to work hard, for example, we need to study diligently, sparing no time and effort, so that later we don’t have to work too hard and do good work that doesn’t exhaust our body. In a word, instincts do not have the ability to think strategically, but our brain, if we strain it, does have this skill. Therefore, we know, not everyone, of course, but many know that sometimes it is possible and necessary to work hard in order to improve the conditions of our lives, so that later, in the future, we can work less, and then our body will not wear out too much, and therefore its service life will be longer. In other words, with the help of our mind, we can solve the same problem that laziness solves - much better.
Perhaps you are now thinking that in addition to physical work, there is also mental work that does not wear out a person so much, but at the same time we are still too lazy to do it. Accordingly, the question arises - why? Friends, mental work is the hardest work a person can do, which is why, as you can see, not many people do it. Mental work does not wear out our body the way physical work does, but to perform it, the brain consumes a colossal amount of energy that we need for life. Therefore, after intense mental work, a person needs a very good rest to restore his strength. Our brain, according to scientists, consumes about 20% of the body's energy, and even more when used intensively. And from my personal feelings I can tell you that after very intense mental work, sometimes I can barely crawl to bed. For example, after writing an article like this, when I not only write about what I know and what I have tested in practice, in the process of working with people, but also when I try to make my material understandable to most readers, and at the same time time interesting so that they want to read it, I spend a lot of energy and then it takes me a certain time to regain my strength. So mental work is incredibly hard, which is why we are sometimes too lazy to strain our brains, and we act automatically.
So what conclusions can be drawn from all of the above to get rid of laziness in the best way? But there is only one conclusion and it is very simple - we need a good incentive to do something. I will even say even more precisely - we need meaning in doing something. You can, of course, give a person a kick in the ass and thus force him to move, that is, force him to work under pressure when fear is a stimulus for him. But as practice shows, this is not the best way to motivate a person to take action. People forced to work out of fear have very low labor productivity and a very primitive approach to work. Therefore, humanity at one time abandoned slavery, in its primitive form, because it came to understand how, without the use of violence, it is possible to encourage people to work hard, hard and creatively. It's all about ambition, greed and interest.
It is ambition, greed and interest, preferably wrapped in an ideological wrapper when it comes to achieving a great goal, about the deep meaning of life, that can motivate a person to take active action, and can even make him a fan of some cause when he spends days do it, forgetting about everything in the world. You need to awaken passion in your eyes, you must become obsessed with some interesting and important matter, success in which will become your strongest desire in life, and then laziness will immediately leave you. You shouldn’t forget about fear either - this is the strongest incentive for a person - the last frontier of his interest in life. But fear must take on a special form in which a person will be afraid not of losing something, but of not getting something, of not learning something, of not achieving something, of not getting something. don't have time. A primitive type of fear encourages a person to do nothing, or to do something reluctantly, so as not to die, for example, of hunger. But a more perfect form of fear encourages a person to take action, to move away from his current state and come to a new, more perfect state, in which a person will have much more opportunities to survive and his life will become much better.
In general, friends, to get rid of laziness, you need to want something very, very much, want it so much that a burning interest in some activity awakens in you, which you are ready to do day and night, in order to get the desired result. And you should engage in this activity not because you need it, since “need” is fear, but because you want it, because “want” is interest, this is greed, this is the desire for greatness. Thus, you need to replace your instinct of laziness with other instincts - the instinct of dominance, greed, interest, and even in some situations the sexual instinct. After all, in order to find a partner for sex, you also need to do something, go somewhere, somehow present yourself to another person, interest him in something, and so on. Few people are interested in a lazy person, and besides, few people know about him. And yet, in addition to all these instincts, you, as I said above, need to connect your mind to the fight against laziness. That is, you must understand for what immediate and especially distant goal you decided to strain, for what benefits and prospects you need to exploit your body and burn your energy. A meaning must appear in your life, which either you yourself will determine for yourself, or someone else will do it, who can have a very strong impact on you, with your consent. You need to make a choice - what to live for and do something in your life. I talk about choice because I am absolutely convinced that a person chooses his own destiny and decides for himself what and why he will live. Another thing is that deciding what exactly you will live for is not so easy. Therefore, getting rid of laziness with the help of a strong desire - to leave something and come to something - is not so easy. You can get excited about something, from some idea, but burn out very quickly, again plunging into the nonsense from which you emerged for a while, thanks to the impact of this idea on you. And then laziness will overcome you again, and sometimes along with it sadness, boredom, despondency. It is no coincidence that many people are busy searching for the meaning of life - they want to know what the Universe needs from them, and what they themselves need from themselves. After all, on the one hand, we want to know why we should strain ourselves, why we should spend our energy, and on the other hand, there is another question - why save energy, why be careful, why be lazy?
There must be meaning in the life of every reasonable person and a person must be aware of this meaning, otherwise he will not be interested in living. And if there is no meaning in a person’s life, if he lives only for the sake of maintaining life, then it is useless to expect activity from him, because the lowest form of laziness, calling him to do nothing at all, will completely take possession of him. After all, for a simple life - for a vegetable existence, you don’t need much. In this sense, laziness is very practical - it protects a person from everything superfluous, which may require him to spend additional energy, including success, which requires spending a lot of energy to achieve. Therefore, the search for the meaning of life, or rather, a person’s inventing this meaning for himself, is a very serious and responsible job. Perhaps you will find a person in your life who will infect you with some great idea, the implementation of which you will begin to actively strive for, filling your life with meaning. Or perhaps you can come up with such an idea for yourself. The main thing is that you always want something, something that you need to work towards throughout your life. Greed in this case will make your life unsatisfied, and no matter what you already have, you will still want more, you will strive for more, which means you will live, which means you will be active, which means laziness will disappear from your life.
And here’s another thing, friends, any of your desires, any ideas, goals, guidelines should meet your interests, and not the interests of someone else who convinces you that one thing is correct and another is wrong. A person can work well and hard if, firstly, he works for himself and understands this, and secondly, if he understands the meaning of his work. That is, he must have a goal in life, preferably one that goes beyond his primitive needs, but must necessarily meet his interests. After all, in order to get rid of laziness, you need to prove to your body that you are going to do something for its sake, that is, for your own sake, and not for the sake of someone else. And the greatness of your goal will ignite the fire of passion in your eyes and then no one and nothing will stop you. The greater the work a person does, in which he sees a certain interest and great meaning for himself, the more effort he puts into it. Well, don’t forget about specifics when setting a goal - if you want something, then try to understand what exactly you want and why. Don't say that you want to become a rich and successful person, or that you want to make the world a better place - these are all common phrases. Tell me clearly - what do you need to start doing right here and now and why? Tell this to yourself - pose this question to yourself in order to understand your own desire.
That, in fact, is all you need to get rid of laziness. The logic is very simple - we defeat one instinct with the help of other instincts, or rather, we replace the work of one instinct with the work of other instincts. After all, it is instincts that control our behavior, and our brain is engaged in servicing them. And in this case, our brain must choose those instincts that it will serve first and foremost, and these instincts will overshadow with their activity all other instincts, and in particular the instinct of laziness. When you get excited about a great idea, for which you can not only spend your energy, wearing out your body, but also give your life, then laziness will recede, it will simply be suppressed by your determination and obsession. Now all you have to do is decide what you really want, or, better said, what you might want in order to achieve this something, use all the resources of your body. Think about it - what can awaken a very strong interest in you, because of which you will forget not only about laziness, but about everything in the world?
Come up with some kind of mission that you need to accomplish in this life - infect yourself with a great idea that will send shivers down your spine, so that your life becomes more interesting, so that you yourself become a very active person, ready to move mountains to achieve your goals. Usually this approach to life allows you to make it more meaningful. If you need help with this, please contact us. Together we will choose your goal in life and decide how best to achieve it. The main thing is not to hesitate, life burns out very quickly - there is no time to doubt it, hesitate, be lazy, or wait. Act while you have the opportunity, while you are alive. Choose your goal in life. When the meaning of your life becomes the achievement of some great goal, or several goals, I assure you, you will easily get rid of laziness - it will leave you very quickly.
Methods of self-motivation
To prevent laziness from taking over you, you should also maintain your motivation. Old but well-working methods are:
- engage in self-development and learning new things;
- increase physical activity (be in the fresh air more often, take walks, go hiking, play some kind of sport or just dance);
- gain new impressions and diversify the expression of your emotions;
- look for or create more significant motives for activity (praise yourself and encourage);
- learn to plan your day and not forget about rest;
- rejoice and improve your mood (listening to your favorite music tracks helps a lot; priority should be given to active music).
What You Need to Understand Before Breaking a Bad Habit
Before you begin to study methods for eliminating a common ailment, you should ask yourself: is this really it? Chronic fatigue and a constant need for rest do not mean that a person is lazy and deliberately avoids doing important things. The overly dynamic pace of modern life exhausts even the most resilient, we must not forget about this. But if you yourself notice that you are wasting your time irrationally, not doing anything useful, but also not fully resting, the time has come to think thoroughly about how to overcome and overcome laziness in yourself. Remember, the sooner you take charge of yourself, the faster you will eradicate the bad habit.
First of all, you need to understand that by indulging in your laziness, you are harming yourself. After all, lost time cannot be returned. The disastrous result will not take long to arrive. Dissatisfaction, senseless waste of energy, numerous problems, the solution of which is repeatedly postponed until tomorrow - all these delights are constant companions of lazy people.
The social nature of laziness
All people are lazy from time to time. Any person has had occasion to neglect work or study, because something inside him resisted work and was too lazy to work. When a person's subconscious perceives work as something meaningless, the mind fails to take over.
The desire to work is largely influenced by the development of the brain of a particular person and the state of his hormonal levels. Social factors act as requirements of society, family, employer, that is, they are not a person’s own desire, but motivation imposed from the outside. This is why it is so difficult to force yourself not to be lazy.
In the modern world, people often discuss what laziness is, what kind of laziness there is, how to find ways to increase productivity, how to overcome oneself and develop a decisive character, and, most importantly, how to wean oneself from laziness. It is often called procrastination. Procrastination is a person’s desire to use every opportunity to put off work and study until tomorrow. In the distant past, procrastination could be considered a self-preservation instinct. This is how a person protected himself from excessive stress and backbreaking physical labor.
However, today the situation is completely different. Laziness, or procrastination, has become a mechanism of self-destruction. The problem of laziness affects the learning of younger schoolchildren and becomes more serious over the years. Adults are increasingly less likely to call hard work a valuable and attractive character trait. And passion for work causes sympathy and rejection. The younger generation is trying to figure out why laziness is useful and how it can be justified. But it is impossible to justify it. It is important to face the truth, admit what laziness really is, and directly ask yourself - is there a desire to start a new life and understand how to deal with laziness? If the answer is yes, then, despite destructive social patterns, you need to learn how to stop being lazy and start living fully.
Interest in studying
Another factor that influences our activity is interest. Sometimes it is even stronger than relevance. If you are too lazy to study even when there is almost no time left, it’s a matter of interest.
Imagine that you are hungry and you have all the ingredients for an apple pie. It will completely satisfy your hunger and even leave a couple of pieces for breakfast. But making a pie is a complex process. It is much easier to snack on apples, although this will not be entirely reasonable.
Now imagine that you watched a video on the Internet about how to quickly and easily make apple pie. You have a lot of food in the refrigerator, the pie is not at all relevant, but you are just interested in making it! And so, without an ounce of laziness, you begin to knead the dough and cut apples.
Why is studying not interesting? The most popular answers are: it’s boring, it’s difficult, it’s long. Let's solve each of the problems and avoid growing apathy.
The biological nature of laziness
Physiology has always had a strong influence on human behavior. Character, willpower, motivation, personal preferences and even the strength of love for work can be determined by the characteristics of the body. Recent modern research convincingly proves that the psychology of laziness largely has biological roots, and not just social ones. Nature has instilled in the body the desire to conserve its energy and spend it on necessary actions. This is how patterned behavior is developed, and patterns kill curiosity - the first enemy of procrastination.
If all attempts are unsuccessful, and a person cannot understand how to overcome laziness and fatigue, you need to visit a neurologist and endocrinologist. Laziness may not be a character trait, but a sign of some disease. Symptoms of laziness are not trifles, but very real reasons to think about visiting a doctor.
Often, hormonal disorders cause apathy, fatigue, insomnia - everything that we used to call laziness. A bad mood and lack of motivation that continues for a long time is a reason to visit a doctor. In some cases, 1 course of properly selected medications can completely change your mood and attitude towards life.
Pill books
All good books say that there is no recipe for productivity that suits everyone - because everyone is different, everyone has different initial conditions and goals. This is fine.
Maxim Dorofeev, “Jedi Techniques”
A book about developing habits, useful tools for unloading memory and daily practices that help you think more and more often. After it, you will treat task lists with love, divide the world into goals, projects and meetings, and finally sort out your email to reduce anxiety.
The book is written in simple language, without gibberish, and most of the recipes can be taken and applied immediately. Highly recommended by the whole team. Here is a fragment of one of the chapters.
Maxim Dorofeev, “Path of the Jedi”
Two Maxim Dorofeevs in one collection are not accidental. “The Jedi Path” is a book about gradually increasing awareness, improving life and introducing the five levels of Jedi wisdom into life.
There is a free chapter on the publisher’s website - it’s about the second level, where, it seems, almost all of us are. You can read it and try it on yourself.
No load
If there is not even the most minimal load, not only the body suffers. The psycho-emotional state of a person is disrupted. A sedentary lifestyle contributes to the development of a large number of pathologies leading to irreversible consequences. Chronic fatigue syndrome almost always occurs. In addition, not only physical strength disappears, but also mental abilities. Often these changes are practically unnoticeable until they become clearly visible.
Emotional stress is also very important. Everyone needs emotions. Some people watch football matches, while others like melodramas. This is how they get the missing emotions. It should be remembered that negativity is also necessary. You cannot sacrifice some feelings for the sake of others. Anger, irritation, anger are also needed for the normal functioning of the brain. Sometimes they even become the best incentive.
In the era of the development of accessibility of information and social networks, the intellectual load is significantly reduced, although this is strange. Consciousness is filled with “garbage”. Mental workload is not simply running through received information. You need to think about it, and this is always difficult. You must always analyze, improve and learn from your own experience.
Japanese Method of Overcoming Laziness
Reason 2. Adrenal hormones.
So-called laziness, lack of interest in life and pleasure from things that previously pleased a person can be somatic signs of stressful conditions.
Catecholamines (adrenaline, norepinephrine) and cortisol are stress hormones that we need to adapt to any situation. They are produced by the adrenal glands.
During times of stress or intense work, their levels in the blood increase. The more frequent and severe the stress, the more adrenal hormones are in the blood. It is an internal defense mechanism against severe physiological stress.
But only if the hormonal system works correctly. If a person lives in a state of constant, chronic stress, when the adrenal glands are forced to pump stress hormones into the blood for months and years, these glands become depleted.
The adrenal glands can no longer respond when necessary by releasing hormones. Plus, tissue receptors adapt to them and stop responding to them. The person becomes lethargic, lethargic, and tired. Which one? That's right, lazy.
This is a situation that requires normalization of lifestyle or even professional help from a doctor in order to cope with stress illnesses and improve life.
Efficient use of time
Proper distribution of time is the key to a successful fight against laziness and apathy. Quite often, when we start doing important work, we begin to get distracted by various little things. This throws off the rhythm, disrupts the mood, and eventually laziness takes its toll (12).
Productivity throughout the day should be as efficient as possible. You should not feel overwhelmed and inactive. To do this, you need to properly allocate your time to the assigned tasks. It is best to draw up an action plan in a certain sequence. It is advisable to calculate the approximate time required.
The main thing is not to be distracted and not to deviate from the intended path (13).
Equally important is the rationalization of the daily routine. Don’t forget about such important points as: healthy sleep and good nutrition (14).
