Diagnosis.
Life, as if written off from the famous novel "Oblomov" does not like anyone, but exactly until the person is exactly in the same situation. Immediately there are justifications for both inaction and unwillingness to change anything. Think of a mountain of dishes in the sink or forgotten reports in the back drawer of the table! We get used to everything very quickly, and laziness creeps quietly and imperceptibly. Therefore, at the first stage it is so important to honestly confess - yes, I am lazy. As soon as we recognize this or that weakness, we become aware of the place that it takes in our lives, we become able to look at ourselves from outside and see the real picture of events.
You can spend a day, two, month or years on the couch, accumulating around you not only mountains of dust, but also mountains of problems. How to beat laziness if it becomes a habit? The only way to defeat laziness is to admit your temporary defeat and decide to act. It is very easy to recognize laziness - it's us in a quiet voice, suggesting how nice it is to lie by the TV instead of making dinner, in interesting conversations in "ICQ" from morning till late evening, in computer toys and fascinating books - in everything except work. If you give in to temptation, after a few days a person can feel weak, become listless and irritated for no apparent reason. Although, the reason is obvious - all these problems from laziness which must be defeated.
First steps.
Everyone who at least once succumbed to the temptation to be lazy when it was necessary to act knows that the difficulty is not in the necessity of doing something, but in the first step that separates you from a lazy parasitic existence to an active life. It is in this first step that people see the main fear, because there are so many cases ahead, most of which will have to be stalled at a frenzied pace, as much has been lost.
You need to start small, if after a long break to get down to business at the same pace as everyone around you, there can be a breakdown. No athlete will train at the same pace after a trauma or a long rest, and no sloth should begin to change from solving global problems. There is an old folk way, how to defeat laziness without much damage to yourself - you need to start by cleaning the house and the workplace. Our grandmothers said - a mess in the house - a mess in my head, and it's true. But it's worth to throw away empty packages and sachets, take out the garbage, arrange things in places, wipe off dust and get rid of sticky spots on the floor and on the table, as it becomes easier to breathe and it's easier to start something new. Everyone knows that it is more pleasant to live in purity than among dust and mountains of scattered things. And if the daily cleaning is made a habit, it will not take much time, and you will never find yourself among a pile of rubbish.
Time.
One of the main reasons why people start their business is inability to manage their time. The fact that it is important to plan your day, that sometimes clear plans and schedules are needed that will help not forget something necessary and not get out of the rut, it is said a lot. But for some reason we neglect this most often.
For everything that we do, there is a time - and for sleep, and for food, and for work and leisure. If some things begin to change places, if we begin to sacrifice sleep for work or work for the sake of rest, then inevitably we will skip to passive existence. Not all the things that we are obliged to do every day, we like the same. If you iron a fluffy cat is very nice, then clean the toilet behind her - no. But we all know what will happen if we stop making this unpleasant but necessary procedure. It is important to distribute your duties so that some complicated or simply unpleasant cases alternate with the easier ones, then there will be no stress.
Habits.
All of the above helps to temporarily dispel the negative influence of laziness from your life, but this does not give guarantees that one day you will be able to resist the temptation to postpone important business, go to a meeting, clean up at home. How to beat laziness if it seems invincible? The secret is to develop useful habits. This is the regime of the day, which does not get lost even on weekends, it is the control over the performance of all its duties and control over the time spent on these or other matters. A person who is accustomed to going to the shower and having breakfast after awakening, will not forget about it until the evening, chatting with friends on the phone or in the ICQ. A person who has got used to leave work without leaving important matters for tomorrow will not be at a certain moment with a minimum of time and a dozen issues that need to be resolved urgently. A person who is used to living in a clean house and looking neat, even if he does not plan to go out, will not find himself surrounded by rubbish with disheveled hair.
It is known that habits are formed for a while. Usually it takes from several weeks to several months. But if you do something regularly, it will inevitably become a habit. In that case, is it not better to accustom yourself to useful things, rather than to different ways of not doing them?
If we talk about how to conquer laziness once and for all, we can not fail to mention the need for recreation. A person can not only work, otherwise life will become boring and monotonous, which will also lead to apathy and depression. Rest is necessary to us, we need pleasures and indulgences, it is simply important to learn not to cross the line between deserved vacation and lazy existence. A person lives truly, when he is active, laziness has a negative impact on the quality of life in general, undermining health, relationships with loved ones and reducing hope for success to a minimum. Just one step can be a starting point from dull days to a series of bright events. Do it - the choice remains for each of us.
