We often look at people who do less, as lazy.
But is this the case?
There are different versions of laziness. But in a way, they are the same. People like this tend to do the minimum possible to get the results that they want.
Does this sound bad?
Maybe for us "overachievers." From the outside, it may look as though lazy people are trying to game the system.
Less often means less meaningless work
Instead of getting caught up in a bunch of pointless tasks. Lazy people tend to do less in every aspect.
Less stupid tasks that we often convince ourselves that we "need" to do.
Less meaningless work, Means you can focus on things of greater importance. This is NOT laziness.
Why Is it, That society tends to reward personal sacrifice over personal productivity?
It's so much better to be productive over being "busy." Like in one of my past posts I discussed how being a "workaholic" can be a bad thing. It can harm your productivity. Because you just keep yourself busy and your not giving your brain a chance to rest.
What we fear of doing is what we often need to do the most!
Sometimes us busy people will put everything in the world ahead of the task we are SUPPOSED to do.
It's because we are scared of the task that needs to be done. We give ourself the illusion that we are "Too Busy for it."
Lazy people sometimes can get that task done sooner, Because they have no "busy" Tasks.
Lazy People are More likely to look for Automation
When your lazy, You want to do things with as little effort as possible! You will be more likely to look for software Or other methods that will get the project done faster. This gives you a huge advantage over workaholics who may not look for that kind of thing as quickly. Will will slave away at our computers for hours, While the lazy person may already be ahead of the game.
But at the same time, lazy people may not pursue the same opportunities as workaholics because of the percieved "difficulty" Level of that task.
Just because your doing something unimportant doesn't make it important
Being busy is only helpful when you are doing task that will allow you to grow closer to your desired goals.
Simple is often better
Lazy people may live more simple lives. Simplicity often gets you the results you want! It's easier to manage a smaller number of tasks rather than a larger amount of tasks. This is why I got rid of a lot of my stuff. "Managing" my stuff and everything else in my life took so much time. Having less stuff made my life more simple, so I could get more done in a day.
Don't Be Lazy, But Dont' Be A Workaholic Either
We all know that extremes either way can be bad for us!
The same rule applies. Being too lazy will make you forfeit potential challenges that could have a big impact on your success. But being too "busy" will distract you from what is really important.
