Perhaps the most difficult task in self-improvement of a person is the correct disposal of laziness. Such a bad character trait as laziness can cause a lot of trouble, the main one is the loss of work or the lack of desire to acquire it. People often put off business for tomorrow, for a week. They may not be able to fulfill their needs in a given period, but this often happens because of laziness. It is divided into several types: active, professional and absolute.

Active laziness.
Suppose you need to write a term paper, and instead you go to the store or spend hours chatting with a girlfriend on the phone. Ultimately, the work is performed at the very last moments, when the time is running out, as a result of which the probability of errors occurring increases. Most likely, the thing that needs to be done is not interesting for you, or you are afraid of the amount of work ahead. Behind such laziness may lie self-doubt and fear that you will not be able to cope with the intended work, and as a result, the protective mechanism is turned on.

How to overcome active laziness? First of all, you need to ask yourself if you want to perform this work? If this is related to lessons or documents, then you need it to get a good grade. Further, it is worth determining for yourself in what time period you want to begin to carry out this work, and develop a plan for further actions. You must clearly understand where to start and what to do.
3
To overcome active laziness, you can meditate. To do this, you need to sit back and imagine that you are performing the necessary action, and what result you will get. Imagine what you can buy for a scholarship. The better you imagine, the quicker you get to work.
4
Professional laziness.
Basically, such laziness is found in people who spend their time at work every day. This laziness is determined accurately: on the eve of a working day you get dizzy, at the very thought of tomorrow at work, your stomach is upset, and you begin to think about going to the doctor in order to go to the hospital. However, in the morning, convince yourself that everything is fine and go to work. You carry out official duties automatically, but you yourself think that the day will soon end. If you have not encountered this before, then the cause may simply be fatigue, especially if you work without days off, or have not been on vacation for a long time.

If you cannot properly rest from work, then you need to try to reconsider the attitude to your vacation. Be sure to think about the fact that when you achieve professional success, you will receive recognition from superiors and, as a result, an increase in wages. Secretly you can arrange a competition with colleagues.
6
Absolute laziness - if the meaning of life is completely lost and you do not want to do anything: neither work, have fun, nor do household chores, you do something under the pressure of loved ones. Everything seems completely pointless and unnecessary.
7
If this is just laziness, then you can overcome it this way: you need to take a sheet and write at the top "my goals in life." Then you need to list all the goals at a fast pace, without hesitation. After take another sheet. Write on it the question: "How do I want to spend the next few years?" and pondering a question with answers in writing for no more than five minutes. And on the third sheet of paper you need to answer a very difficult question: "If I had known that I would die in six months, how would I spend the remaining time?" When you answer this question, you will understand what exactly you need.

You can cope with laziness, but worse, if a trauma is hidden under the mask of laziness, in this case you need to contact a specialist.
