Overcoming Laziness

Hi All,

Hey you...yeah...you. Reading this blog entry. 

Are you lazy?  Who? Me? You ask?  And my answer is yes, you...

Okay...enough with the fun stuff.  On to the blog entry of the day.

So...being lazy can have a decidedly negative affect on your work and employment future.  Yes, its true - click on this link from CareerPath 360 for an article entitled 'How Being Lazy at Work Affects Your Career'.  The early bird really does get the worm. And the parking spot, and the best time for a business presentation. And many other perks for those who are 'johnny on the spots'. 

So, how can one start to become 'less lazy?'  Click on this link from the Iron Shrink and you'll find a blog entry from this Licensed Psychologist from Denver Colorado.  A few highlights include: spending less time on the video games, eating donuts (read: food)....in general having enough 'internal discipline' to stop doing these activities that take up so much of your time.  Well...that is all well and good - but a reader wrote to the Iron Shrink and said,

“Your examples were about creating the discipline to stop playing video games, drinking, and eating donuts. I find changing my habits to start doing something – for example, making sure to eat breakfast every day – difficult to stick with. There isn’t a point of tension to study and step away from if the status quo is sweet, sweet laziness.”

Ultimately the Iron Shrink suggest that when readers are trying to change a habit to start doing something (anything: from a project at work, to starting an exercise program and more...) readers should start out small and think in terms of small chunks.  Click here for more information on this topic. 

For those of us who like 'step-by-step' instructions, click on this next link - from WikiHow - Click on this next message for a webpage entitled, 'How to Overcome Laziness: 26 Steps (With Pictures). 

Finally, readers might like to get a more professional answer for 'How to Overcome Laziness' by visiting this link from Psychology Today.

So there you have it...3 links to pages that will help you get things done!  And help you become less lazy and more proactive.

Enjoy the links and the sites.
