What Is Laziness?

Being Lazy or Laziness is the feeling of doing nothing or being idle. Sometimes laziness happens when you are not willing to face something, i.e., you are afraid of that work, or you are bored with that work; because of all this, you don't want to put your energy into that work, or you don't want to make any effort for that work.

Laziness is nothing; everybody once in their lifetime feels lazy or not to do anything or be idle. This is not new, but getting rid of that feeling of laziness is the main thing. To get rid of your laziness, you need to know about the reasons that are causing the feeling of laziness in you, and then after that, you will have to work on those reasons to cure your laziness.

Countless reasons cause the feeling of being lazy in any individual; it is different in every individual. Still, some common reasons cause laziness in most people out there in the world.

Top 3 Reasons That Cause Laziness

3 common reasons cause the feeling of being lazy in most people. If you want to end that lazy feeling, you need to know about these reasons because if you don't know the reason behind any problem, you will not be able to resolve that problem.

1. Fear of Failure

The most common reason behind most people's idleness is the feeling of failure or the fear of failure in their work. Everyone wanted their work to be completed without any problem, and if they got into any, they were demotivated. 

Fear of Failure means you are afraid of losing, and to save yourself, you prefer not to do that work, thinking you will not lose. But the reality is if you will not complete your work or start your work because of your fear, then how you will be able to get what you want to achieve.

The causes of fear of failure are many and varied. Some causes are a lack of confidence, support, and encouragement, a lack of ability to solve problems, and a fear of failure. A child afraid of failure will not feel able to try new things and may not even choose to engage in social situations that require learning. Some of the causes may relate to the child, some may be a result of family, and some may be a result of school.

2. Demotivation

Demotivation means losing hope about everything or the work you badly wanted to do, but after many unsuccessful attempts, you feel not to do that. Demotivation is quite common in every person's feeling of being lazy because if you do anything and cannot achieve it after many attempts, you lose hope and stop trying for that goal.

Demotivation is also the bi-product of Fear of Failure. Due to your fear of failure, you do not start your work, and after some time, you lose hope of doing that work.

3. Fatigue

Fatigue means when you are tired of doing something again and again. This also leads to the feeling of being lazy in most people. If you are doing something without any rest, you will get fatigued, and to give yourself relaxation and some free time, you prefer to rest, leading to idleness in most people. 

It is sometimes good, or sometimes fatigue is worst for people as most people never start their work after the rest. Thoughts like "This work is so tiring, I will not do this anymore, Why am I doing this work, I better leave this work" strike their mind, and they stop working or making efforts for their goals.

1. Set your Goals as Achievable

The first trick is to set your goals to easily achieve them or be achievable; if they are, you will be motivated. If you set achievable goals, you will be more motivated because you will see your efforts paid off. Your goals will be much more likely to be achieved as you will be more enthusiastic about the outcomes you want to achieve. In addition, setting achievable goals can help you to keep focused on the task you are trying to achieve. Achievable goals give us a sense of purpose and direction and help us to define ourselves. They make us aware of what we want and need and how we can get what we want. We become energized and motivated when we set goals that we can achieve instead of sitting around waiting for something to come along.

Some people set their goals very high, or their standards for themselves are very high; they think that they can achieve them, but when they start making efforts for their goals, they start with full energy, but one failure makes their goal seems far from them.

So to stop being lazy, set your goals achievable.

2. Have a Routine

Having a routine is quite beneficial for avoiding the feeling of laziness because you will be doing the work in your daily routine. Having a routine makes you busy in your routine work, and you rarely get a chance to get demotivated or fatigued as you are doing this work regularly.

But if you do not have any routine and prefer making a daily routine, it will help you in many ways. It will help you to be motivated and also develop a good lifestyle.

3. Give yourself Deadlines

Giving yourself deadlines is the best way to trick your mind. Your mind works best when you have some deadlines. Your mind never gets demotivated when you know you have limited time or get the feeling of laziness if you have to do some work in the meantime. This is a straightforward way to encourage yourself. A deadline gives you the motivation to complete a task. Your motivation will be very high when you know you have limited time to complete a task, but it will drop off as time goes on. You may find yourself working with a deadline because you need to know exactly when to complete the task.

So giving deadlines yourself will trick your mind, and you will feel that your laziness is getting away from you. Have you ever experienced that your mind works best with deadlines,
