Sometimes laziness ruins the brightest undertakings in the bud. It prevents you from taking up urgent work, does not allow you to get out of the house for a walk. Sports activities are abandoned, important matters are postponed indefinitely and accumulate like a snowball. How to overcome this misfortune and learn not to be lazy?
Instructions
Step 1
Outline a plan to combat laziness. First, decide what exactly it interferes with. Let's say during the day you are not doing the tasks that need to be done. This is a fairly common situation that can be resolved.
Step 2
Make a to-do list and stick to it. Remember that work is best done in the morning, and you can leave something secondary for the evening.
Step 3
Arrange your daily routine in such a way that there is always time to relax. This is especially important during severe stress, when even the very thought of the absence of interruptions can drive you into depression.
Step 4
Optimize your load as much as possible. Don't grab onto everything at once, start with simple tasks, give yourself time to get into the rhythm. Do not hurry! It's just a bad habit. The one who is never in a hurry succeeds.
Step 5
Set realistic goals for yourself. There is no need to take an oath to fix the country house in one evening, because the work there is for several weeks. Divide the task into small steps, estimate how long it will take to complete them, and get down to business. Tell yourself that no stress is required.
Step 6
Reward yourself for the work done. Let it be a cup of tea with chocolate, your favorite TV show for the night, or an opportunity to spend more time with friends. In this way, you will reinforce a good start against laziness with consolation prizes that will cheer you up when the habit of procrastination tries to take over again.
Step 7
Get enough sleep! Lack of sleep cannot be compensated for. But its overabundance makes a person lethargic, deprives of energy. Determine how many hours of sleep you need per night, get up on an alarm even on weekends, and soon the habit of relaxing on the couch during the day instead of jogging in the park will become a thing of the past.
Step 8
Remind yourself constantly that your success depends on your performance, then you will simply not want to waste time. Laziness cannot be driven away by persuasion. But she leaves those who simply do business, not succumbing to the temptation of eternal idleness.
