Laziness is a common  thing to all of us, and the question “How to defeat laziness?” can be deservedly called one of the most important to answer. Over the last two years we have collected a lot of ways to deal with laziness, and today we would like to offer you some of them. We really hope that you will never ask this question again after reading this article.

Morning exercises and cold shower

No methods can work properly if you don’t do the basic, fundamental things – morning exercises and cold shower after sleep. Those people who do exercises every day perfectly know that you feel yourself full of energy after that, and all things are done without any problems. One more important moment about exercising is the fact it reduces your sleep for 2 hours: it means that if you spend 30 minutes on exercises, you will add 1,5 hours to your life every day! This time can be spent really useful and profitable: to earn some extra money to have a good rest for example. Shower is also very important: first of all, this is your hygiene, and second – fresh mind has never stopped anyone yet.

From one monotonous work to another

Many people know the definition of the word “desire”, but not many know how to call a desire to do something. There are times when it is necessary to do a monotonous work, and many people are lazy to do that to the last moment. Someone still tries to do this work though he doesn’t want to, however, it would be much better to take a 20-minute break and try doing something else. This method is quite effective, but the main thing here is to start doing this monotonous work at last!

Take a break every 20 minutes

We don’t say for everyone, but your chances to get hemorrhoids are big enough if you spend hours in a chair. Stand up, walk around the office or apartment, go outside if you can,  and just wait a minute, think about something, and then get back to work. No need to sit at your keyboard all the time even if you type like a pro.

If you do not want to work, just clean your workplace

If you can not start working, then clean your workplace at least, and the desire to do something will definitely appear after that.

Follow the principles of time management

It can help you plan all your deeds in advance and see how much time you can spend on each of them. When you know that you have 2 hours for writing an article for example, you will do everything to finish it in time; so, you will be able to resist the temptation of doing something else.

Forget about everything and just lie on a sofa

Our body can not live a quiet life! If you can not bring yourself to work, just lie down on the sofa and think about nothing. Believe us, you’ll want to work at once, this method has been checked already.

Reward yourself

After finishing an intensive work, you can reward yourself (buy a chocolate bar, a gadget or a new car). The value of a gift depends on the work that you put into doing things.

Is a deal too big? Smash it apart

Let’s take an example when you write a diploma. It’s clear that you won’t be able to write it all at once (well, maybe you can, but you are too lazy to do that as a rule). So, just try doing everything in its turn: gather the info today, write the intro tomorrow, etc.

Remove all trash from your life

Most of us do unnecessary things instead of working: you check your e-mail, read some blogs’ posts, reply all comments, go and make a tea, check e-mail once again… And only after that you decide to work. Finally! Maybe you don’t notice that, but hours of time pass like that. So, if you can’t live without reading a blog for example, just make it your reward: read it after you’ve finished your work.

Set yourself a goal

Yes, that’s right. Take a sheet of paper and write: “Today I will do a task for the website about   purple toilets”. And just start doing it.
