How to overcome laziness today

Mark as read

Laziness is often not a lack of strength, but resistance to starting.

The more you delay a task, the larger it seems. The mind gets used to avoiding what is difficult and ends up searching for any excuse not to begin. Industriousness does not mean doing everything eagerly, but learning to begin properly what needs to be done. Very often energy shows up after the first step, not before. The will strengthens like any habit: by repeating good choices when they are difficult. Small victories prepare you for decisions of much greater weight.

Key idea

Laziness is overcome by starting, not by waiting to feel like it.

Your challenge for this idea

Start that task you are avoiding right now. Do just 5 minutes, but do them well.
