Now that we’ve outlined the differences between laziness, procrastination, and idleness, perhaps you realize there are times when you may be a little bit too lazy. If that’s the case, here are some tips to beat those bouts of laziness.
Take baby steps
Oftentimes we avoid work because some tasks can be overwhelming. One way to beat this tendency for inaction is to take baby steps. Instead of thinking of a five-page paper as one big assignment, break it down into smaller components. Maybe you start by sitting down at your computer and writing a single paragraph. This small task can be easier to get done, and in the end, you’ll find that it takes less time than to keep putting off the work.
Set constraints
Experts agree on one thing—you are more productive when you have a schedule with a set timeframe♦. You are better off limiting the time you work to just a few hours a day than thinking that you have all day to get something done. This time limit helps people focus and get the job done.
