Coffee and I are old friends (coffee is older than me of course) and I do a lot of thinking over coffee. With this in mind I decided to start a little concept called thoughts over coffee which I'll be doing from time to time.
I don't like laziness or reward it and while I don't have anything against down-time, relaxation, doing nothing and such other legitimate activities being lazy grinds my gears. There's many different forms of laziness including below.
Laziness - Nothing to do?
Most of the people I associate with are what I'd call go-getters meaning they take responsibility for their lives and actions rather than being passengers floating along aimlessly. I'm the same.
I hear people whining about there being nothing to do, or about not knowing what to do, and it always makes me feel a little bemused and certainly sad for those people who's lives must be very boring and uninspiring. I see it as laziness though, (and a lack of ownership), as there's always a million things a person could be doing...unproductive things but, better than that, productive things!
Some people just sort of lapse into the doldrums though, it happens, and some of that is habit and some probably due to the failure to set goals, take ownership and show discipline...and often simple laziness. It's not a good place to be, but it's fixable.
It's not easy, but getting up (physically or figuratively speaking) and seeking to reconnect with something that used to excite a person is one of the strategies one can use to arrest the downward spiral. Goal setting is another, and combined - linking those things that excite with one's goals - a person can begin to shrug off that habitual laziness and begin to rediscover that colourful and vibrant life they could potentially have.
What do you reckon? If you want to comment below then go ahead, I'm interested in your thoughts and experiences.
