The Benefits Of Laziness

  1. Many smart solutions like the remote control, smart speakers, escalators and even the light switch are the work of lazy people.
  2. Lazy people often actively procrastinate, and unlike the ‘passive’ procrastinators, they have better control over their work and time and perform well under pressure.

  4. Lazy people are the pioneers of automating, delegating or eliminating monotonous and time-consuming tasks.
