Each person, to one degree or another, is familiar with a mysterious beast named "Laziness". Someone diligently ignores the presence of this phenomenon, someone struggles with it with varying success, and for someone, laziness is a constant companion in life. In some cases, the reluctance to take any action or go about the usual activities is beneficial. For example, in case of fatigue and nervous exhaustion, laziness will help restore strength and regain efficiency. But what if, in the normal state, all attempts to regain focus and productivity have failed, and important tasks, as they were unsolved, remain so?
It is important to remember that every person is different, so there is no universal way to combat laziness. Someone will be helped by one of the methods, and someone will find good results when combining them. But first, you need to figure out what laziness is.
As a rule, the reasons for this phenomenon can be the following states and moments: fatigue (both physical and emotional), lack of motivation to perform any important task, the body's desire to maintain its presence in the comfort zone. Each reason requires a different approach. Below are the options for solving the problem with laziness.
1. First, you should deal with the most difficult tasks, and the easy ones should be left for later. This approach will allow you to devote maximum effort and attention to important matters, which will have a positive effect on quality. In addition, when an unpleasant and difficult task is completed, satisfaction and relief can be felt. In this mood, easy things will be done without any problems.
2. It is worth keeping the body in shape, monitoring your diet, playing sports, spending enough time to sleep and trying to worry and worry as little as possible. When a person is healthy and full of strength, he has enough energy to fight laziness and successfully overcome it.
3. Rewarding work is a great way to motivate yourself to accomplish. For example, for each completed task, you can allow yourself one or another pleasant "weakness": a new purchase, a chocolate bar, watching an interesting movie, etc.
4. Large and voluminous tasks should be divided into stages or "steps". So an important matter will not seem impossibly difficult, and the brain will stop reflexively resisting when it realizes that everything is not so scary.
5. Getting rid of distractions is good for many people. If you need to do work on a computer, then the first step is to disable all programs related to communication (ICQ, Skype, etc.), close browser windows with pages of social networks, mail, etc. The fewer distractions, the better and better concentration.
