1. Learn to Accept Your Own Laziness

The way to break out of this is to learn to accept your own laziness.

It’s okay to feel lazy. It’s natural to feel lazy.

You can work to address your laziness,
without feeling bad or guilty about it.
2. Understand Your Source of Laziness

If you can figure out what’s making you feel lazy and unmotivated,

you can find a way to prevent or mitigate the effect.

Pay attention to:

- Your environment
- The time of day
_ The people around you
- And the type of work you’re doing.
3. Break Your Personal Cycles

In many cases, laziness is a byproduct of habit,

and this is especially true if you find yourself feeling lazy around the same time of day

or in the same circumstances.

Any major change can have a positive effect on you.
4. Make your goals manageable

Setting unrealistic goals and taking on too much can lead to burnout.

Avoid overloading by setting smaller, attainable goals

that will get you where you want to be without overwhelming you along the way.
5. Create a plan of action

Planning how you will get something done can make it easier to get there.

Having a plan will provide direction and confidence

that can help even if you hit a hurdle along the way.
6. Set a Reward for Yourself

Most of us find ourselves much more motivated

when there’s a reward at the end of a daunting journey.

The next time you find yourself feeling lazy or unmotivated in the face of a tough task,

Plan to give yourself a reward.
7. Surround Yourself With Motivated People

If you’re surrounded by peppy, optimistic, highly motivated people,

You’ll feel more motivated yourself.

Seek these people out however you can by selectively hiring them,

engaging with them in a group.
8. Force Yourself

You shouldn’t have to force yourself out of bed every morning,
but every once in a while,

we need to force ourselves to do something we just don’t want to do.

Believe it or not,
you’ll be proud of yourself once the task is done.
9. Avoid distraction

Find ways to make your distractions less accessible.

This can mean finding a quiet place to work,
like the library or an empty room,

or using an app to block sites that you scroll mindlessly when you should be on task.
10. Exercise

Exercise is a surefire way to get rid of laziness.

Just a few minutes of exercise:

- Can increase energy levels
- Improve mood
- And reduce anxiety, stress, and depression

Try a short walk or bike ride to combat that lazy feeling.
11. Do a small part of what matters most first thing in your day.

By doing so you set a good tone for your day,

You get that quick 5-10 minute win in first thing
and you’ll be a lot more motivated to keep going on that path during the rest of your day.
12. Don’t Expect Perfectionism

Try and stay satisfied with whatever gold you can produce because it’s okay.

You are just perfect as you are!
13. Ask for help

Not asking for help could be setting you up for failure.

Asking for help improves your chances of success,

and helps you connect with others who can encourage and motivate you.
14. Make tedious tasks fun

We tend to avoid jobs that we find tedious.

Try listening to music or a podcast,

or put on your fitness tracker,
to see how many calories you burn or steps you get while performing these tasks.
Conclusion:

Laziness isn’t always a bad thing, and everyone deserves a slow day now and again.

Figuring out how to stop being lazy may be as simple

as changing the way you approach certain tasks
and adopting a healthier lifestyle.
