Homework Yourself Out Of Being Lazy

You could always give instructions to me on a new job and let me find away out to it. Once a specific task is given to me I accomplish it to make sure I make customers happy. When you tell me to do something specifically, I make sure that I get to it as soon as I have time in my hand. I have never argued with you about any

Soon, I discovered a method to avoid the potential of feeling insubstantial, if only for a few more hours or days. Thus, allow me to introduce you to an old friend, procrastination. My way of thinking soon became, “If I’m not going to get an A, then why even put the effort in?” and consequently, innumerable assignments were put off until five in the morning where it would be due in two hours or it would never reach my teacher’s hands at all. I’m sure most teachers believed the cause to be laziness or a lack of ambition, however I strongly believe that if they’d known the constant stress, self-doubt, and exhaustion that I

All my life I have been a lazy person, doing just enough to get by. Most of the time, in high school, I was content with just a “C”. The only time I wasn’t, was if it was a class I liked, and I paid attention to. If this was the case, I could have received a 99% on a test and been dissatisfied. But, for the rest of my classes, which were most of my classes, that I didn’t like, I never paid attention to or did homework, and I still managed to do well on tests. So basically I didn’t do anything except take tests and I still got satisfactory grades. In school I was so lazy that there could have been a project due worth about 20% of the final grade and I still wouldn’t do it.

Christopher Morley’s article “On Laziness” took a much different approach to narrate his thoughts on laziness than expected. He lists the benefits that come from it, instead of scolding us on why we shouldn’t be lazy. Though Morley does emphasize on the positives that come from laziness, he does warn us even if we’re lazy, we must still eventually be able to accomplish your given tasks. Throughout this essay “On Laziness,” Christopher Morley supports his claim that the world would be a better place if we were more lazy by appealing to logic, appealing to logic, appealing to emotions, and including irony.

Activities such as projects were most difficult to complete as intended. Because of the time wasters that prohibit me from staying on task and procrastination.

It is one of the most underrated troubles. For it causes many issues in the world, though the blame always seems to fall upon some other reason of cause. Laziness causes people to not want to fulfill their wildest dreams to refusing to do necessary duties. On the island of the lotus eaters, Odysseus faces laziness at its most extreme. The lotus flowers cause people to magically lose their longing for home. Sailors don’t have much control over their laziness, for it was forced upon them by way of magic lotus flowers from the natives. My troubles with laziness come from giving up because something is “too hard”, when really I just am being lazy. It causes me to not work as hard as I should to achieve my goal of having a happy and healthy lifestyle. Laziness in Odysseus’ story and mine are similar because we both lose the lust for our goal. Luckily we can both overcome laziness with hard work and determination, even if Pandora releases it from the box

Don't sit around and let life pass you by. If you feel like you want something right now, then the time starts now. Don't down yourself either because that's why so many people give up. Just because one thing fails doesn't mean it'll be that way forever. You can change your life right now by doing anything. You do know that if you don't do anything about it nothing will come. Anything can happen even with smallest step taken. What you do now will show off in the future. The situation you are in now could change in the blink of an eye either for the good or the bad. But that result counts on you and your mindset. If you're lazy now and you don't try to better yourself, you will be the exact same in the end. But if you are on a good road now keep it up because you never know where you could be 20 years from now. In conclusion, if you feel like you're busy now just wait until the end. You'll see where the hardworkers are and you'll see who's still at the same point where you once were. Keep yourself occupied but with positive things. You have to believe that your work will pay off, so never give up. You do know that inactivity will never ever serve as a purpose to you and your life. So get

So staying to true form after facing the two big issues causing my procrastination I immediately began procrastinating my solving procrastination. However after two days I realized that this really was a problem that needed solving right here and now. So I began to brainstorm how I could solve my problem. The next week of the class couldn’t have come at a better time since we focused mainly on procrastination.

Attention Getter: A famous author by the name of Wayne Dyer once said, “Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is incredibly heavy.”(1) In todays society it seems as if procrastination has become a normal and acceptable thing to do. It is often joked about amongst schoolmates and co-workers around the world. Nothing seems to get done until it absolutely needs to get done, then everyone runs around getting things done quickly and often times inaccurately. The trouble with this mentality however is that some things will never get done because something will come up tomorrow or the next day and what you are putting off now gets pushed even further back. Today I will persuade you to stop this habit from continuing. I will be explaining the problems we face when dealing with procrastination as well as how to deal with it and actions you can take to prevent it in the future.

I am happy to admit that over the past year I have grown a lot with managing this issue. I accept the responsibilities of the things I need to do and take charge.
