A review about laziness and how to get rid of it
Need to rest or relax? In these busy times, an occasional lazy day is not only okay but much needed too.
But if you find that you are spending lazy days more than once, and you're having trouble getting things done, that could be a sign that something is wrong.
Lack of passion for your job, massive to-do list, and even an underlying medical condition are just some of the things that can interfere with your desire to get things done.
We cover all the bases here and tell you how to stop laziness so you can be more productive.
How to overcome laziness
"How can I stop being lazy?" The answer might not be cut and dry as you'd expect. While some people may be more prone to being lazy than others, even people with high productivity may find it difficult to get things done at times.
Here are some tips to help you banish laziness and understand your productivity.
1. Make your goals manageable.
Setting unrealistic goals and taking too much effort can lead to burnout. While it is not an actual clinical diagnosis, symptoms of burnout are recognized by medical professionals. Job burnout can cause burnout, loss of interest, motivation, and the longing to escape.
Avoid being overloaded by setting smaller, achievable goals that will get you where you want to go without straining you along the way.
2. Don't expect yourself to be a
perfectionist Perfectionism is on the rise and it takes a psychological toll.
One 2017 study of college students between 1989 and 2016 found an increase in perfectionism over the years. The researchers note, "Young people [face] now more competitive environments, more unrealistic expectations, and more anxious and controlling parents than previous generations."
This rise in perfectionism causes people to be overly critical of themselves and others. It also led to increased depression and anxiety.
Another smaller study of college students concluded that expecting perfection was linked to avoiding coping, which causes you to avoid coping with stress.
3. Use positive self-talk instead of negative self-talk Negative self-
talk can hinder your efforts to get things done in every aspect of your life. Telling yourself that you are a lazy person is a form of negative self-talk.
You can turn off your negative inner voice by practicing positive self-talk. Instead of saying, "There is no way to get this done," say, "I will do my best to achieve it."
4. Create a business plan
Planning how to get something done that can be easily reached. Be realistic about the amount of time, effort, and other factors needed to achieve your goal and create an action plan. Having a plan will provide guidance and confidence that can help you even if you encounter an obstacle along the way.
5. Use your strengths Take
a moment to reflect on your strengths when setting goals or preparing to tackle a task. Try to apply them to different aspects of the task to help you get things done. Research has shown that focusing on strengths increases productivity, positive feelings, and work participation.
6. Learn about your accomplishments along the way
Propagating yourself on your back for a good job can help keep you motivated. Consider writing down all of your accomplishments along the way in everything you do, whether at work or home. It is a great way to boost your confidence and positivity, and provide you with the energy to keep going.
7. Seek help
Many people believe that asking for help is a sign of weakness. But not asking for help may set you up for failure. A 2018 study found that people who did not seek help from co-workers were more likely to be dissatisfied with their jobs and had lower levels of job performance. They were also viewed less favorably by their employers.
Asking for help improves your chances of success and helps you connect with others who can encourage and motivate you.
8. Avoid distraction
We all have our favorite distraction agents to turn to when we don't feel like taking on a task - whether it's scrolling through social media or playing with a pet.
Find ways to make distractions less easy. This could mean finding a quiet place to work, like a library or an empty room, or using an app to block websites that scroll without thinking when you're on a mission.
9. Make Heavy
Duty Fun We tend to avoid jobs that we find boring or boring. Housework like cleaning gutters or the bathroom won't be fun, but you can make it more fun. Try listening to music or podcasts, or put on your fitness tracker to see how many calories you burn or steps you take while performing these tasks.
10. Reward yourself
Having a job is a bonus in and of itself, but some people are driven by external rewards. Focus on what you will gain from accomplishing something, such as getting close to a promotion, or reward yourself for a job well done. Celebrate the end of a big project with a night out
