To make laziness work for you, put some effort into it - Neel Burton | Aeon Ideas
Laziness
We are considered lazy if we ought to do something but are unwilling to do it.
Why We're Lazy
Few people would choose to be lazy.
- Many 'lazy' people haven't yet found what they want to do or are unable to do it.
- Some people have become so specialized that they no longer grasp their purpose, and could fall into the trap of not bothering.
- Some people sabotage themselves by never trying because they fear success or they fear failure.
- There are also those that feel so hopeless that they cannot begin to think through it.
Idleness and Laziness
Idleness, or to be doing nothing, is not the same as laziness. Idleness can amount to laziness, but can also be a clever way of accomplishing tasks.
Idleness can be used to observe life, gather inspiration, gain perspective or to maintain health for important tasks. Sometimes the best way of using time is to waste it.

Always On Work
The ‘Always-On-Work’ culture makes the people's identity tied to their job and there is an unspoken belief that every minute of one’s lives must be commodified and turned into profit or self-improvement.
Most youngsters carry this impulse to optimize every minute of their lives. There is a tendency to keep ‘doing’ stuff, instead of just ‘being’.
We All Are In A Spot
One has to realize that all kinds of people, upper-middle-class, middle or working class, have their job and livelihood at stake right now.
It is best to be compassionate and grateful and not let the feelings of fear, panic or stress creep into the mind. Keep yourself cheered up with small pleasures and endure this ‘At Home’ time.

The glorification of being busy - The Stanford Daily
Busy-ness is glorified
“Busy-ness” is glorified in our society. We wear our stress like a badge of honor, as if the busier we are, the more impressive we must be, and the more accomplished we must seem.
When...
Busy-ness is selfish
Being so hyper-fixed on our own stress and schedule is, in a way, selfish. It’s a way to be caught up in our own little world.
Instead, we should be encouraging ourselves and others to find a better balance in our lives and in our experiences.
Analyze
We convince ourselves that everything we do now, will pay off when we are successful and achieve that next milestone. But, as soon as we reach that goal, we rarely bask in that success because we must be in pursuit of the next one.
Analyze the reasons as to why you are doing the things you do, and why you are reaching for the goals you are trying to achieve.
