We often get lazy because we get bored.
Yeah, I said it.
I've noticed something, The more I put on my plate, the more I get done. The more motivated I get, The more I'm looking for options to simplify my crazy life, Why? Because I'm overwhelmed.d
My brain goes into panic mode. Looking to drop less desirable and less rewarding opportunities, Although In my case, I can't cut anything. So Instead my brain is looking for ways to get things done even faster, More Productive. That way I can keep everything.
Sprint, SPRINT, SPRINT
Did you know that sprinting through your to-do list is actually more productive than taking your time?
Why?
Because us humans get distracted so easily. When you expect yourself to get your to-do done in 8 hours, YOu are more likely to get distracted and waste time on social media. While when you give yourself 2 hours to do the same thing, You probably turn into a crazy maniac and start punching things out super fast.
Not only this but when you can finally take a break, You are more likely to become fully rested. Because you can mentally immerse yourself in the break, Rather than "half-assing" that too.
Boredom
Sometimes we need to mix it up. And something remarkable happens when we sometimes get bored. We think of new ways to accomplish those same boring everyday tasks.
Those ways may be faster, Simpler and overall better.
I'm noticing this right now with my shirts and other daily responsibilities, My brain is coming up with new ways to do things more efficiently. So instead of giving up because you are bored, Try and see if there is another way of completing the task.
We Need More Challenging Things
Sometimes we get lazy, Because we are bored, And only that. Sometimes we just need to upgrade our lives.
It's about taking that next step, Moving up and going to a new place in your life that will get you closer to those long-term goals.
Sometimes honestly I do get lazy , but when I set myself straight , I accomplish my goals . I get down what I need too and I feel like eating is an important part of our energy as well

I've noticed the same principle in my pushup exercises.
If I say that I want to do 30 pushups then when I'm at the 30 mark I'm so tired that I can't even do another one.
But if I am to push my limits and expect more than what I regularly do, or go with an attitude like "I'm going to do as many as I can", I will always do a little more of them if I don't limit myself to a certain number.
Although different examples, I think the same principle applies.
Great post @KaylinArt! Thank you for sharing :)

If you find yourself without any major priorities or goals, dullness and boredom will become daily occurrences. By challenging yourself to meet a goal, you'll be motivated to continue. Have you ever gone for a run and lost all desire to keep moving? Aim to run to the end of the street, and you'll find yourself at the finish line soon enough. Big company CEOs and entrepreneurs would not have gotten so successful if they hadn't aimed high. @kaylinart

That's true and I totally agree with you. I don't let to my mind to be lazy. Anytime try to keep positive mind. If I have to do task within some period I dedicate task schedule time basis. Then successfully create any work. I anytime try to do best task for success my future. Don't be lazy. We have only few time to stay on the planet.

making a list by making plans, drawing a path to oneself. Preparing a Sprint is not a waste of time but a time-saving. Sometimes there are lucky ones.

That is true. When I feel motivated about something, I noticed how productive I become. If I'm really bored, I often choose to stay lazy and do nothing. Our brains are always playing with us, haha! It's really important to always challange yourself and get out of your comfort zone to get more things done:)

When I have a lot of things to do is to get into a sort of robot mode, where the only thing I think about is my tasks at hand.
That way I am just doing my current task without any other thing taking my mind elsewhere.

Successful people away from what is often done by lazy people. For example, lethargic, limp, not energetic, uninspired, and do nothing. Successful people always have high spirits in their lives. He will have amazing ideas that a slacker will not have. Success or not someone is not influenced by the intelligence they have. However, a person will achieve success because of the habits he has. Abstinence, high spirits, and always positive thinking are the attitudes you must have in order to be successful @khaylinart

As technology develops, laziness is an indispensable guest of our homes. He's sitting in his chair and holding us out of his columbus, causing him to commit his life. It is possible to think of laziness as an individual who can not leave us. We should not throw a crime on technology. Actually, we meet in our baby. First of all, my mother is a lullaby whispering ear "What do you grow up in your nephews ..." Oh, what else do you need? :)) @kaylinart

Being lazy is not an abnormal situation, in fact, it is quite natural. I do not think anyone would want to go to the office like that dungeon unless there are jobs we have to do to work, that is, the documents we need to train and the arrangements we need to make! It's a little too lazy to lazy ...
but if we want to get rid of laziness what can we do?
1-Take Action
Even if you do not want to read books, READ OUT.If you do not want to exercise, get up and do EXERCISE.
The only thing that keeps us from doing a job is that we do not do it, so do it now!
2-Step by Step
If you want to do everything at once, you lose your motivation. You will be surprised at what you will do first, where you will start, and you will not be able to complete any work at all. For this reason, divide your big business into small pieces and concentrate on just that split part of the work you have achieved. On this count, you will be able to complete a job that you think is very difficult and can never come from above, with much more pleasure and pleasure.
3-Remove Things That Distribute Your Attention
When we keep our ambassadors around us, things that will keep us occupied outside our work will be immediately alert and motivated.Therefore, they will serve us apart from the purpose of this matchless distribution of our attention. If we move things out of the environment, for example, if we do not connect to the internets, if we lock in the room where the TV is located or we can focus on the work, we can concentrate our attention and concentrate on our work much easier if we work in the simpler environment. Even if our attention differs for different reasons, we can easily reassure ourselves that we are away from things that have no long-term binding effect.
4-Motivate Yourself
Whatever job you are doing, do you know why you are busy with it? Over time, he may forget the reason he is engaged or busy at the moment, the goal he wants to accomplish by doing the job. "Why would I do this?" For this reason, remind yourself of your personal satisfaction, how important it is to your life and your family. If the answer you ask for what you do for what you are not satisfied with, then reassess your work related goals!
5-Reward Yourself
Being disciplined and planned is good, nice, nice, but who do we want to be robots? This is a terrible thing! None of us can live by just rules. This is a serious negative impact if we lose our motivation. We are enthusiastic and enthusiastic at the completion of every work we do in the end considering the award. The prize is a positive reinforcement in this sense.
If you have done these, congratulations are free from laziness...

My opinion about the boredom.Chatting with others is the most primitive, simple and successful solution.
Try to make your partner, your friend, your family, happy. Sometimes it is the greatest happiness to laugh near you.

Many years ago I had put on quite a bit of extra weight. My friend kept trying to get me to go to the gym with him, but I was always too tired after work. Finally, he convinced me. To make a long story short, within a very short time I had lost about (30) pounds, felt like I was a teenager again, and couldn't wait to go to the gym three nights a week. I had an abundance of energy, and was always active and happy, instead of sitting in front of a television, and tired all the time.
So yeah, boredom can cause laziness, but another big one is depression!
I've been off from work since July 2017 because of a major shoulder injury. I've had one surgery in July 2017, which failed, and now I'm looking a temporary fix type of surgery, with a total shoulder replacement within 2 - 3 years.
I've been extremely inactive, with very limited funds, and I've went back to putting on weight and finding myself getting very bored and depressed. HOWEVER, I now recognize it, and that helps tremendously. I'm able to somewhat snap myself out of it. I can change what I'm doing, call one of my kids, or do something to break the boredom and depression.
Lastly, I found Steemit in September 2017, and this has actually help a lot. It's just a different type of site, and I feel like I have more of a desire to see it continue to get better. I use other sites, of course, but I don't really care so much about them, other than being a communications medium.
Who-da-ever-thunk Steemit could also be a therapist? lol

Isn't it weird how the more you workout and run around, the less you seem to be tired, while if you just go to sleep all day, the more you will feel groggy and tired? Sometimes, in life you have to get out of your comfort zone in order to accomplish what you really want.
If you want to have more energy, you must get out of your comfort zone and start working out even if your mind tells you to sleep and stay in bed more.

This post rings so true for me. I am hyper-efficient at getting tasks done, but I have to have exciting things in the pipeline and a compelling reason to finish them, or else I simply don't care.
So I really identify with what you said about the busier you are, the more productive you become.
For me, I try to spend as little time on a computer as possible, but ALL of my work is computer-based. So I've made it a game to try and get my work done as effectively as possible and "reward" myself with as much off-screen time as possible.
Great post!

I totally agree. I find the same thing in my own life. While I'm not one of those 'worship me because I'm constantly frazzled and too busy' people, I do like to have a decently full schedule as it keeps me on my toes! Especially with creative pursuits- I find there's a fine balance between squirreling away 'just enough' and 'too much,' or 'not enough' time to get my Photoshop work done or to do a new painting. Anyway I'm just rambling.. all in all I totally agree with you! Cheers!

Nature has no provisions and do not allow vacuums, that is no place for emptiness or idleness. The truth is at every point we are termed lazy we are actually busy doing something different fro m the goal at hand or something that is of less or completely of NO value. make a choice to channel your energy to the needful the first and be prompt about. life a choice we must make to live it.

I used to be so productive before our office closed down. My employer ran me ragged and the more productive I got, the more I wanted to do. More importantly, there was pressure on me to do it.
Now, I sit around thinking about everything I need to be accomplishing, but not actually doing it because I'm bored with life all around. It's a horrible feeling and I miss feeling like I deserve to "be lazy" for a few hours. It gets harder and harder to take that initial step to starting and I find if I have to force myself more and more.
