Being lazy has negative connotations, but have you ever stopped to think about why? In fact, it is those over-stressed workaholics who feel that if they can relax and breathe for a minute, the world will collapse. Or do you feel guilty of laziness? Or have you been taught from birth that laziness is the seven deadly sins. Sometimes taking a step back and looking at it, laziness doesn’t explain everything. In fact, being a little lazy can make you happier, more relaxed, and more successful.

Part 1: Adjust your mentality

1. Reflect on what laziness means to you. Different backgrounds and beliefs define laziness differently, but fundamentally it is a term that evokes negative emotions. It makes us unwilling to do our part well or do too much when we see others doing a lot; it also implies that people do not need to improve themselves or improve their quality of life. However, laziness is viewed differently from different perspectives. Here are some ways: What if laziness means you want to rest? Many people stay away from stress and always seem happy because sometimes they want to rest and are used to following their own pace.

Laziness means you are tired of daily chores. And why should we love everyday things? Of course, we need to be grateful for what we have and what surrounds us, but that doesn’t mean we should be grateful for boring, everyday things.

Laziness means that you have a mental battle between something you should do and something you don’t want to do. It is also possible that this will lead to anger from outside pressure.

Laziness means that others cannot do what you want them to do, and vice versa. This isn't necessarily laziness; it's that you're controlling (manipulating others to do things) but don't have the ability to say it clearly. Simply calling them lazy is a good excuse.

Laziness means you are relaxed and relaxed. Like leaving a lot of unwashed dishes but not wanting to move them? Do you feel bad when unexpected situations arise? And what about a new sense of energy and happiness for you?

2. Reflect on whether your laziness means you do less, and think about when it became a bad habit to complete tasks in less time. Do you want to work hard all the time? If so, why? If you can achieve the same results with less effort, why not give it a try? Don’t think about reality yet, think outside the box: almost all technological innovations are due to laziness. We drive because we are too lazy to walk; we use the washing machine because we are too lazy to wash; we use computers because we are too lazy to write by hand (in addition, computers are faster to type, can be completed faster, and can rest earlier)

Becoming lazy is another One benefit is doing things in a better way, saving time and effort. And thanks to these challenges to traditional technology, you believe that becoming lazy will still make sense in the future.

3. See if you have benefited from your busy schedule. Every time you say that work consumes your life, your time is filled with work schedules, and you complain that you have no chance to adjust. Generally speaking, people's judgments about laziness are like accomplishing nothing, being second-rate, and wasting time, and instilling these ideas in others. We keep labeling others like this even when we ourselves are overworked. Those who take breaks are indeed productive and happy, ironically enough, most people are working longer hours while keeping the eyes on them.

Ultimately, society encourages people to achieve work-life balance, be more productive, and be content.

4. Time spent at work makes you full of energy. The vice that matches sloth is diligence. For some, applying art to work and passionately and endlessly believing in the value of hard work is far more profound and profound than those who work long hours for overtime pay. However, not everyone thinks so. In fact, Danes work 37 hours a week, pay taxes on most of their wages (returning to them excellent social facilities), and have an average of six weeks of annual leave. , they have always been considered the happiest country in the world. For those who have leisure time, working all the time can make them dull. So diligent people can learn to slack off and take leisure time to ensure that you have new energy and inspiration.

Laziness is subtle, just like diligence, not one is completely good or bad. Insisting that this is good and that is bad is one-sided. Forget it, give yourself a chance to calm down for a moment.

5. How to become lazy is very simple, you just need to redefine efficiency. First, doing less and being more efficient sounds like a contradiction. It depends on your definition of efficient. If your definition of efficiency is doing more, learning more, or the extreme of having to do something all the time, then slacking off will actually break you down. On the other hand, if you define being productive as making the most of it, leaving most of your time to work (or do anything), then being efficient and doing less is the best way to go.

Imagine that you have been working on a feverish activity all day long and only accomplished a little bit, especially when evaluating whether your last achievement was lasting.

Or you can do some key actions every hour to finally complete the task. At this point, take some time to sort through your work and you will be able to understand whether you look busy or are really productive.

6. Stop immediately when you know that you cannot concentrate. Maybe you need to make some signature moves by sitting at the table to signal that you're about to get to work, just as you vigorously scrub the counter to show that you're doing housework. However, if you want to rest, then you have to realize that you really don't want to do anything, and then shift your focus. This can help you conserve energy to do what you really want to do. If you've long wanted to end a project, either do something productive or go home. Sitting at your desk checking emails starts to get busy instead of asking others to help.

We can say that you are writing a novel. You might be writing something really good, but just get stuck in the first hour or two of sitting at the computer, and later you'll find yourself slacking off. If you find that you don't have the energy or motivation to keep going, stop looking at the screen and give yourself some time to relax and continue tomorrow.

7. Spend leisure time with friends. Not everything requires multitasking. If your spouse, bestie, cousin, or new friend wants to spend some time with you, go for it with all your heart. When a friend wants to go shopping for groceries with you, don't ask why, and don't send work emails during family movie night. Spending time with others wholeheartedly can improve your relationships, make you happier, and reduce stress at work.

Don’t feel guilty when you take a break, it’s good for you.

8. Stop all plans. While this is great for work, if you want to be lazy, you can't plan your entire life down to the minute. Sure, it's fine to plan meetings, plan for deadlines, and have your schedule organized weeks in advance, but if your plans make you more nervous about unknown events, then you need to pause and make all demands manageable. If you find that planning is too much for you, it's time to get used to the unknown. This can help you relax and make you less nervous.

Also, if you don’t commit to things every minute, then you can be exposed to those small blessings that happen unexpectedly, which can help you relax and give you the energy to deal with anything. .

Part 2: Take Action

1. Be smart and do less. If you're lazy, the choice is easy.

Do less, but do it smartly: laziness makes things more efficient. If it's not efficient, it won't save time and it won't allow you to take a break earlier. Either don’t do it, or find a way to do it less and with less pain. Here’s a guide: Unless it’s an important email, send less. Another benefit of doing this is that people will pay attention to the emails you send, much better than sending them frequently.

Mark something in front of you (put a sticky note somewhere visible). Being lazy doesn't mean you end up doing more, it means doing less is better.

2. Enjoy nature. When was the last time you went outside to see the beautiful scenery? If you answered "as a kid" or "never," then your time to go outdoors is seriously overdue. Even if you're not an outdoors person, just spending a few hours in fields, lakes, forests, gardens, and mountains can help calm your mind and rejuvenate your body and brain. Bring a friend, some reading material, a snack, or something else to help you relax. Don’t bring work or multitasking. Just getting used to that state of not having much going on.

3. Sleeping in on weekends is allowed. Numerous studies show the importance of maintaining a regular sleep schedule, so sudden changes in sleep habits are not recommended. However, a lazy nap does not mean sleeping, but staying in bed until you want to wake up. Read a good book, have lunch in bed, or whatever you want to do as long as you feel relaxed. Bring your pets and kids with you to laze and relax. First of all, pets know how to relax at the right time. You can never tell your children that you are too young to know that good health is also an important part of life.

Call an old friend and see how he is doing.

Staying in bed all day can make you look lifeless. Get up and walk around to get some fresh air. Of course, don’t do too much.

4. Shop less. Spend more time doing things you really enjoy, like hanging out with your friends, husband (wife) or children, or hanging out at the beach. Make charts, make plans, and only shop when you need to. The less you spend means you need less and you have less, which means you don’t have to spend a lot of time organizing and cleaning. So what about this laziness? If you plan to go to the supermarket twice a month, you will have more time to enjoy.

You can ask other members of your family to do the shopping for you, or you can shop online.

5. Temporarily ignore the hard-working factor that lives in your heart. Hard work is a habit (there is no doubt about it), but it is not a shortcut to success. Being busy all the time will significantly reduce your performance because you keep focusing on being busy rather than on results. Slow down instead of running around doing a lot. Do less but live a calm and peaceful life. Learn to enjoy a state of quietness and doing nothing. Relax more, smile more, and live happier. Look at your to-do list and ask yourself how much of it you really need to do. Do small amounts, but don’t let stress take up all your time.

6. Simple life. Buy less clothes, drive less, have fewer material needs, and you'll spend less time and energy on maintenance. Make your life as simple as possible by taking the time to donate or throw away clothes you haven't worn in a while, declutter the kitchen cabinets, make your social life less hectic. Although this will take you a long time now, it will bring you more convenience later. Ask yourself if you are taking on too many activities, volunteering to help too many friends, cooking too many complicated meals, or stretching yourself out so much that you don’t have time to relax.

7. Let others do some things. It’s not about manipulation, it’s about assigning the right tasks to the right people. If they are happy to take over and are competent, then don't interfere with them. Many times we feel guilty asking someone to do something even though they have made it clear that they would be better off doing it themselves, but we still want to help. Sometimes we can be unhelpful and make others feel like we are negating them, which is not very popular.

Some manageable situations, treat them like your employees, children, capable volunteers without overdoing it, like a parent. Doing less gives staff, children and volunteers more freedom, giving them room to grow, both in success and failure.

The less you do, the more they can solve. You can guide, but don’t get too involved.

It’s best to have everyone clean, cook, and organize house cleaning together. Most people would find this really boring, and doing it together at least makes the process a lot more fun. It's possible that the anger and laziness stem from the initial assignment of chores.

Trust the people you entrust. Collaboration makes work effortless. Let everyone go home early as one of your team members, whether it's work, a local church meeting, or a big Wikipedia event.

8. Skip most online communications. This has no bottom line. It cannot be said to be an enjoyment, but a time killer. Talk less to others and give yourself more room to be lazy. Talk less, prove something with words, yell less, argue less, email less, multi-task less, call less, check-in less. If you do this, you'll soon be surprised at how much more time you have. We live in a world where many of us don’t know or want to know what’s wrong with communication, so much so that we feel a strange sense of guilt when we’re given a chore or task that we can’t stick to, or even when someone we don’t like quits. Yet most conversations consist of constant whining and little listening. It's just noise.

Let silence enter your life. Let silence take root in your brain.

Go online less, use social media less, and send less seemingly "obligatory" text messages unless it is necessary instant information.

Spend less time on mobile games, WeChat, TikTok and Twitter, and spend more time with people and live in the present with your favorite book.

9. Do things when they need to be done. It's like work! The reality is that getting things done right away saves a lot of energy. A person who really knows how to be lazy realized long ago that not getting the job done right at the beginning will make things pile up. Remember the saying "If you don't fix a small hole, you will suffer a big hole." Here are some ways to save time by getting the job done right from the start: Learn to write a first draft quickly. This can only be done well with practice.

Fold your clothes immediately after taking them from the dryer or clothes drying rack. They will crease far less than if they had been sitting in the dryer or laundry basket.

Choose the right paint style for your house from the start. Otherwise you'll spend more time tinkering. Innovation is mostly based on the same principles as infrastructure. Getting it right at the beginning will save you a lot of maintenance and repairs later on.

Read the email and do it quickly. When you leave them to "do it later," then it's bound to create a huge task that you don't want to face, and then you will start to resent and get into crisis. If they don't deserve your attention, delete them quickly. It would be best if you can reply immediately. Your mailbox only holds 5% of your emails, and you have good reason to do so (ignore the angry responses).

Buy seasonal or celebratory gifts in advance. You will avoid conflicts and pitched battles with crowds, lazy people always have time to avoid conflicts.

10. Stop complaining. Lazy people don't complain, first of all, it takes a lot of energy, and secondly, complaining is unfair and feels like rock bottom. Less complaining and criticism leaves more time and mental space for creative thinking and smarter answers, including finding more effective ways to solve problems by placing less blame and focusing more on how to solve them. Sometimes people will complain and criticize, but don't make it a habit. Remind yourself that all complaining uses energy, and no matter how much it bothers you, you can quickly step away, use the time to become more productive, and relax.

If you have a huge reason to complain, you might as well use the time to do something constructive. Like writing a letter to your local representative or spray-painting a giant protest slogan on the comfy cushions of a sit-in.

Cultivation of compassion, tolerance, love and understanding. They are the antidote to complaining.

Don’t make a big deal out of a molehill. Maybe it couldn't be worse, or what if it was worse, could that make it better? Maybe you just like to be proven right, but so you can shake your hand and say "I told you so"? There are better ways than worrying and making mountains out of molehills.

Learn to let nature take its course, look for opportunities, find the natural laws of things, and do it when necessary. You can't control the outcome, but you can learn how to work more smoothly and constructively prepare yourself for unexpected events (such as having your emergency equipment ready), and then you can reduce the impact of things on their outcomes. Your influence.

11. Sometimes I am consciously lazy. Do something different every once in a while. Sleep on the couch with all your clothes (not that you're too tired to move). Set up a tent with your kids, pile in everything from blankets to your kids and drift off to sleep. Lie on the grass and count the clouds or stars until you fall asleep undisturbed. If you don’t feel like dressing up on the weekend, forget it. Don't pay attention to the gossips of your neighbors. Let nature take its course, be content with the situation, and take a step back to open up the world.

Don’t force it, just like the best way to resolve resistance is to have a steady stream of water.

Finding the key points of stress in your life and pushing these things forward is not about knocking down brick walls. Find ways to resolve these stresses instead of running away from them.

12. Keep your mind calm. If you've ever had that whole day where you sit there and look on proudly, nothing happens. Or sit in the most comfortable position in front of the TV on the porch, tilt your feet back, and do nothing, then you will definitely enjoy it. Instead of thinking about how annoying you have to do or decide next, think about things that make you happy, or think about nothing at all. Everyone wants to have a companion when they are lazy. If you have a friend who wants to do something, tell him to stop doing it and you can be lazy together.

You can listen to your favorite music, pet your cat, eat ice cream, or whatever you want to do while sitting.

Tip: Go lazy every other week. Or a Sunday, or an afternoon evening. Just this once, don’t feel guilty about not responding to any messages. During this time, you will slowly develop a sense of balance in your life.

The basis for being lazy is to be smart and know how to do it faster.

Many hunting and gathering tribes had a pattern of preparing for the worst rather than at least maintaining basic needs. Reducing basic needs can save a lot of time to do what you want to do.

If you chat online or enjoy heckling and building model ships, then you are not a workaholic. Dancing can be just as relaxing as sitting, and you should learn to enjoy the process rather than worry about the results.

Warning: Some people are born to be very hard-working, and they still judge other people's lack of hard-working. For such people, keeping busy is a habit and a moral code.

Being lazy is different from being lazy all the time. You should also keep a distance from such people, otherwise you will associate with cockroaches. It’s okay to skip the dishes and towels once in a while. It's just the stench that greets you when you open the kitchen door that makes you think it's a big job, not the less time you were hoping for.

Don’t blame yourself for being indifferent, it’s allowed! This can also be called the "return of the soul", but don't feel sorry for yourself for not doing more.

If you have enjoyed drawing for many years, you may be able to get to the point where people expect you to be professional. Seriously ask yourself if you want to make a career out of this and change her place in your life. If you follow your dream and turn it into a career, it's important to develop the habit of not caring about whether it's good or not. And there are enough crafts and hobbies on the market to just cover the costs and maintain your simple life.

Avoid manipulating or blackmailing others into doing things for you. That's not being lazy, that's you trying to control others. And if a lot of things need to be controlled, then this situation will take a lot of energy and planning. So this is not a lazy way to go at all.
