Beginning With The End In Mind

Posted by john on September 7th, 2006 — Posted in The Pain of Laziness

I have had trouble for much of my life with laziness, and if you’re reading this site, I bet you’re having that trouble yourself.

The goal of this site is to overcome laziness so that you (and I) can become productive and achieve what we want in life. We’ll examine the pain that being lazy causes, the happiness it prevents us from feeling, and achievements it robs from us.

And then we’ll eradicate the laziness.

In time, as you read and apply what you learn, and then you’re no longer lazy, the sky will be the limit.

Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry all easy; and he that riseth late must trot all day, and shall scarce overtake his business at night; while laziness travels so slowly that poverty soon overtakes him.

- Benjamin Franklin (Source: CoreCharacter: Idleness Is The Beginning Of All Vices)

This all plays of an old Kurt Vonnegut short story regarding “Laziness is the Mother of Invention,” ISTM.

I certainly consider myself lazy. I can work endlessly at things I find self-satisfying, yet have no energy for those things I find tedious, boring, or overly strenuous. I am, by virtue of my laziness, stuck in my workaholic, slovenly, and obsessive ways! Crazy!

I am not lazy all the times. But when I see everything has started happening according my desire in office or at home, I become relaxed and lazy and start skipping/postponing my work till my situation becomes bad again and I have to struggle hard to get back to normal.. I do not like this as I create a mess for myself with my laziness
