You Don't Kill Laziness, Laziness Kills You.

You can start by learning how to properly format a paragraph, how to properly use commas and the proper use of connectives

I can, but I don't care. Go teach people english somewhere esle. Get a meaning in life, get money and satisfaction. You will
die pretty soon. And yes, this applies to me too. Fair? Yes.

Boy, why do you assume I don't have a life? Grammar is important, plus it's an easy goal you can work towards in order to overcome your laziness. All you need are small achievable goals in order to help you get positive habits and thus become more active

Hey there Anon! I can relate. I'm pretty sure that a lot of people do these days (read: since the beginning of time). One of my favorite authors, Bob Goff, talks about it in his book "Love Does". In my own words, we all have these dreams: big ideas of things we'll do and people that we'll be, but we never do them. We file them under "To Do Tomorrow" and never end up opening that file again except as a reminder that, yes that is indeed something that we'd like to do someday.

There was a time when I felt like I could say to myself "Yes! I have overcome my laziness and now life is going to be perfect!" I had beaten this nasty trait and become a better person. This may come as a shock, but I quickly fell back into laziness. Unfortunately, it's not the sort of thing that we can simply overcome and move on from like getting over a bad relationship or a fear of swimming pools. Laziness has to be beaten each and every day consistently, and as much as I hate it there isn't a clean cut solution to doing that. To put it bluntly: it sucks. There's no antidote to laziness, just prescription medication:

Engagement with life. Take three times a day by mouth, missing doses may cause lethargy, drowsiness, and/or depression.

The only way to fight against laziness is to, well... not be lazy. Sounds tough? Heck yeah. If you want a clear cut answer I could say something like "Do something. Even if it doesn't interest you or have any purpose, do something. At the very least get your mind working, your body moving. Worry about direction second because in the end you won't get anywhere if you don't start moving. Play with a dog, volunteer, go for a walk, get out of your comfort zone." I can say those things but unfortunately there's still that pesky first hurtle of getting off your couch (much like the one I'm currently sitting on myself).

I hope this did something for you, at the very least putting some ideas in your head. My last thought to leave you with is that everything is easier when done with backup. Get friends together and make plans (the better your friends are at keeping plans the better), it'll put a little motivation behind your action.

>>6 Alright. I thought you are one of those people who don't get the context. Like, here I'm asking for opinios, and there is those people correcting grammar etc. But fine. I can take that opinion. Maybe, I should not jump to conclusions next time.

>>7 Thanks for the long reply. All of them are great. I agree and I will take action from this.

>>9 No problem Anon. Sorry for the wall of text. I'm a talker. XP

>>10 Don't be sorry. It was good advice.

If you really know what you want to do in life, then you wouldn't be so lazy concerning that field.

I am extremely lazy, hell I am getting a C in my math course since I am realizing math doesn't parallel what I want to do. I was interested in it at first, until they started doing math for the sake of math, not applying it. I should be studying for my final tomorrow, but I am not.

I am interested in quantum computing and am reading Feynman's lectures in my free time. I am super interested in quantum mechanics and applying it to something that can be used in real life.

Find your true purpose in life, set goals to attain those dreams. Just little goals help out more and your dreams slightly change with more knowledge of the field. Before I found my true purpose in life I held some interest in things, but nothing stuck. I failed at school, and dropped out, due to my laziness. But time gave me enough motivation and inspiration to chase my dreams.

I found what I wanted to do by realizing what I do in my free time, which was looking up the latest tech and the hardware. So I finally realized that I could be someone who could develop the things I keep researching in my free time.

What are your hobbies? What do you do in your free time? What careers are associated with those? Could you see yourself doing one of them? I think those questions would help you a lot to get over some laziness. But nothing will rid you of all laziness, since not everything is going to parallel what you want to do in life.
