“Laziness” by ARK

Right now, I’m writing on this desk, preparing my next post for my blog. I’m doing this mainly because I don’t want Dev to dominate the page with his posts (which by the way are silly. I told you, Dev isn’t a good writer)

But then I realized that I’m doing this because I didn’t want to be glued to my bed. I had a moment of enlightenment. That’s why I didn’t succumb to laziness.

It’s a waste of time, creativity, and energy. Yeah, slacking off wastes a lot of energy too, you know. When you lie in bed and do nothing, you actually do more than you think.

First, it takes energy to daydream. It’s hard enough to think of something to daydream about. Straining, isn’t it? Plus, daydreaming can sometimes remind you of all the problems you are trying to forget. And thinking about problems is a tiring job. What more if you actually have to solve them?

Next, it’s tiring to find a comfortable lying spot- especially if you’re bed is lumpy. The decisions you make could actually affect your slacking-off time.

Another thing: ANTS. Sometimes you’re just too lazy to eat at the dinner table, so you find yourself munching on your own bed. And what do you find the next day? Ants, enjoying the crumbs of what used to be your food. It’s tiring to get rid of a whole platoon of ants (and I bet you won’t dare let them stay there) 

Not to mention you have to turn on the fan (or the air conditioner), search for the perfect pillow, and plunge yourself into the guilty thoughts of undone work. 

You see, it’s exhausting to be lazy. I say you try what I’m doing and channel all that lazy energy into something more productive.

Here are a few things to do when laziness visits you:

1.       Start a blog! It’s an effective way to express yourself, and improve your writing skills.

2.       De-clutter your room. By doing that, you literally reduce the stressful things around you. It’s good for your aura.

3.       Exercise. Burn off those calories instead of gathering them. 

4.       Socialize. By that I don’t mean Facebook or Twitter. I mean, really talk to people. It would improve your speaking skills. Who knows, maybe you can convince them to do your chores for you? Just kidding. Don’t use people.

5.       READ MY BLOG. I’ll admit, Dev’s posts are good sometimes, too. But my posts are WAY better, so please waste your slacking time by reading them.

“There is a time and place for everything.”

Laziness only messes up your schedule and wastes the unrenewable resource called TIME.
