How to Overcome Laziness and Get Things Done

Who hasn’t felt a little lazy from time to time? There are days where the most attractive choice is to do nothing. This can be an issue, however, when the desire to be overcoming-lazinesslazy coincides with a lot of pressing obligations.
Overcoming laziness is a skill everyone can learn and apply. Never again will you have to feel motivated in order to get things done.
Overcome laziness by applying these tips:
1. Think about the end result rather than the process. The thought of having a clean house or a completed business report feels good. The idea of cleaning or crunching numbers does not. If you find yourself dragging your feet, concentrate on the end result.
2. Decide to work for just 5 minutes. Taking the first step is the most challenging part. It’s often easy to continue if you can just get started. Setting a small goal can make it easier to get up off the couch. Tell yourself you can quit after 5 minutes. More often than not, you’ll keep going. Focus on getting started.
3. List the advantages of getting things done now. Think about the positive aspects of getting things done right now. You won’t have to worry about it tomorrow. It will be one less thing to weigh on your mind. Convince yourself that the time for action is right now.
4. List the disadvantages of waiting to complete your tasks. One reason we’re able to convince ourselves that laziness is okay is the belief that a task can wait. Remind yourself of the challenges that can be created by putting things off. Make a big list of everything that could go wrong if you continue to be lazy.
5. Remind yourself of the challenges you faced by being lazy in the past. We’ve all put things off for too long and then suffered for it. Remind yourself of the real consequences you’ve faced in the past. Remember that pain and use it to inspire you.
6. Have some exciting goals. If you feel lazy on a regular basis, maybe your goals aren’t inspiring enough. One way of knowing you’ve set an effective goal is the excitement you feel when you think about achieving it.
7. Break the task into smaller, manageable chunks. Big tasks can be intimidating and overwhelming. By making several small tasks, it’s much easier psychologically to get busy.
8. Get exercise. When you’re struggling to take action, sometimes a little physical activity is the answer. Go for a walk, lift some weights, or do some karate. Any activity that gets your heart pumping can be effective to get you started on a task that you’re putting off. A good gym to join in our area is “Fit Body U”… Check them out!
9. Get organized. It’s common to feel less than motivated when your surroundings are cluttered. Take a few minutes to make your surroundings a little tidier. It might the kick-start you need to leap into action.
10. Manage your self-talk. Tell yourself how great it will be to get a lot of things done and off your plate. Stand up straight, take a deep breath, and keep positive thoughts in your mind. You’ll feel the energy and motivation you need to forge ahead.
11. Take a nap. Is it possible you’re tired? Feeling lazy and genuine fatigue go hand-in-hand. If you’re tired, getting a little sleep might be beneficial.
 
Enjoying a lazy Sunday is certainly pleasurable. Feeling lazy on occasion is normal, but that doesn’t mean it’s always acceptable. There are times when being lazy can create real challenges. Overcoming the urge to be lazy is a useful life skill that can provide meaningful benefits. What will you do the next time you’re feeling lazy?
