I’ll admit I’m lazy
Many of my friends laugh out loud whenever I announce this, but it’s true
My drug is procrastination my high is laziness, the side-effect anxiety
I’ve been guilty since a young age, when I wouldn’t do my math homework and freak out all night thinking of the consequences
That anxiety still haunts me
I try to hide behind the fact that ‘I perform best under pressure’ or that ‘bill gates once said lazy people are the best’ (it’s true google it) but you all know these are just excuses to indulge further, you are lazy too
Truth is that life is so much better when you get shit done
You become more useful to others, you build confidence in yourself which helps you get out there and do more good
What you’d call a virtuous circle
How do I curb my laziness?
Calendarise tasks until they get done
Self-address emails with delayed send
Treat my inbox like a temple
A lot of Slack reminders
Start each day with a list of things I want to get done
