He is sure to find an easy way of doing it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>-Walter Chrysler<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Laziness is a fairly underrated virtue. It\u2019s synonym made the short list of deadly sins (sloth) and it is often seen as the major culprit behind a lack of success (he\u2019s smart but he lacks discipline). I happen to think the opposite. <strong>Laziness quite often means efficiency and when you combine laziness with a strong drive you end up with the desire to find the most efficient solution possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been called lazy more than a few times. Laziness allows me to ask questions that, \u201cnose to the grindstone,\u201d types would completely avoid. Here is a short list of important questions that lazy people ask of themselves that other people don\u2019t:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Why am I doing this?<\/li>\n<li>Why am I doing it this way?<\/li>\n<li>What am I trying to get out of this?<\/li>\n<li>Is this the best way to get this done?<\/li>\n<li>What would happen if I didn\u2019t do it at all?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I\u2019ve been called lazy a few times by hard-working people simply because I ask those questions when they refuse to. I don\u2019t do tasks that don\u2019t have any apparent value. I\u2019m ruthless in seeking a more efficient method to do something. And I challenge assumptions about what has to get done.<\/p>\n<h2>Laziness Helps You Refocus on What is Most Important<\/h2>\n<p>Being slothful in my approach to goal setting allows me to cut away anything that doesn\u2019t have to be done. In working on big goals this is a crucial skill if you want to achieve them. Hard working people can end up spending days, weeks or months on one element of a goal only to realize that there was an available solution that could have taken less than half the time.<\/p>\n<p>When working on my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/programs\/\">interactive goal-setting program<\/a>, I started by designing my own interface code. But a few days into writing it, laziness kicked in and I couldn\u2019t help feeling highly inefficient. Sure enough there was a plugin I could buy for a little over twenty bucks that offered the basic functionality I needed.<\/p>\n<h2>Laziness + Drive = Productivity<\/h2>\n<p>Lazy people aren\u2019t lazy all the time. Unless the person has extremely low energy, even the laziest people still find time to surf the web, play games or socialize with friends. A lot of lazy people aren\u2019t really lacking willpower, just some motivation.<\/p>\n<p>Without a compelling drive being disciplined just makes you look busy to outside observers when you really aren\u2019t getting anything done. Laziness only becomes apparent because without a strong drive, slothful people stop doing just about anything not necessary for survival or enjoyment.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m a lazy person at heart. Even though I woke up a little after five am to write this post and finish another chapter in my book, deep down I\u2019m a very lazy person. I need a compelling drive to keep me busy. Without a strong drive, I\u2019d lay in bed until after noon and watch television all day.<\/p>\n<p>But once you create that drive, either through explicitly setting goals or opening your imagination to new possibilities, laziness becomes a tool not a curse. Instead of using your laziness to avoid work, you use it to maximize your resources.<\/p>\n<h2>Laziness Beats Willpower (and Efficiency) Any Time<\/h2>\n<p>Willpower has it\u2019s place, but for every drop of willpower you exert there should be a tonne of laziness that has been used before it. If you are having to use excessive willpower to reach a goal, often it is because you either haven\u2019t created enough drive or you haven\u2019t used enough laziness to discover a more efficient path.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m using laziness as more than just a synonym for efficiency. Efficiency is good, but often trying to be efficient doesn\u2019t really ask the right questions. Simple efficiency asks, \u201cHow can I do this better.\u201d <strong>It is true laziness that asks, \u201cWhy am I doing this in the first place?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/books\/\">holistic learner<\/a> I\u2019ve never been big on studying. While everyone around me chastised me for laziness, I didn\u2019t ask, \u201cHow can I study better?\u201d I asked myself why I should bother to study at all. If I didn\u2019t need to there wasn\u2019t much point in spending time and exerting willpower for a similar grade.<\/p>\n<p>True laziness takes a bit of courage as well. It can be very difficult for hardworking person to admit to themselves that they just wasted a bunch of time and energy on something that doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n<h2>Unleash the Laziness Within You<\/h2>\n<p>Be really lazy today. Whenever you have to do something, follow it up with the question, \u201cWhy?\u201d If you can\u2019t come up with a good answer, don\u2019t do it. If it is a necessity for your job or survival, find the most efficient way to get it off your schedule. Delegate it to someone else. Find a way to get it done as soon as possible so you can move to more important things.<\/p>\n<h2>The Emperor Has <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">No Clothes On<\/span> Isn\u2019t Getting Work Done<\/h2>\n<p>The scary part of being lazy is it leaves you naked. You no longer have your insulating cone of busyness to make you feel productive. The work you do actually has to mean something in order to get done. Instead of relying on willpower you rely on drive. Strip away your delusions of productivity by using this most underrated virtue.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/young-in-panama\/119654725\/\">flickr<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whenever there is a hard job to be done I assign it to a lazy man.
