Laziness sooner or later overtakes everyone. At the same time, it is common for a person to deny that he is lazy, and he begins to look for the reasons for his unwillingness to do something: he justifies his laziness by fatigue, lack of time, stress or circumstances. However, you cannot fool yourself, and the moment comes when you need to urgently take concrete steps against laziness. There are ways to overcome it, although it must be said right away that it is not easy to start implementing them, because laziness will interfere in every possible way and build obstacles. And yet, with a strong desire, you can overcome laziness.
Instructions
Step 1
Bring your to-do list to life in your mind. Surely everyone has this. And almost certainly against each lined up a number of reasons why it got on this list. Choose one case every day and see it through to the end. Bring it on by all means. Sweeping away all your excuses Connecting willpower. Each completed task will be your personal victory over laziness. Practice shows that those who set foot on this path cannot then stop and continue to carry on any business started to the end. Laziness surrenders under such pressure.
Step 2
Set realistic and specific goals and objectives for yourself. If the goal is deliberately impracticable ("I want to fly into space as a tourist") or vague ("I want to lose a few kilograms"), then it is unlikely to be achieved. These items will remain on your to-do list. But if you set the task more clearly - "To lose 2 kg in 1 month, observing a fractional nutrition diet", then she has a better chance of success. Follow your preferences day in and day out and you will succeed. And your reward will be not only your reduced waist, but also a sense of self-satisfaction, because you have won another victory over laziness.
Step 3
Do one thing at a time. In an impulse to prove to yourself that you can cope with laziness, do not try to grasp the immensity and redo a bunch of things in one sitting. Most likely, you will fail and, in addition, you risk falling into despair, after which you will not give up for a long time and "score" on all matters in general. That is, you will allow laziness to spoil your life again. It is better to act step by step, defining the specific boundaries of their actions.
Step 4
Pamper yourself for every victory, even a minor one. It is very difficult to overcome laziness if only hard labor, hopeless everyday life, the routine of endless affairs looms in front of you. Motivate yourself. Come up with rewards for the stages of work or for the completion of the case in general - as it is more convenient and pleasant for you. Try to focus on the rewards rather than what's in between. At the same time, the enthusiasm increases significantly, and the work does not seem so boring and dull.
Step 5
Replay in your mind the situation that might happen if you don't do this or that thing. This move is called the opposite motivation. That is, you stimulate yourself not with rewards, not with encouragement, but with troubles. Think about the negative consequences, failures, failures and inconveniences your inaction can result in. The worst is if your loved ones (family, friends, colleagues) are hurt. And all because of your laziness. Usually this technique works flawlessly.
