So let’s take a curious, neutral, almost scientific attitude to the

problem. First, what is laziness?

Laziness can be defined as the conscious unwillingness to put in the

necessary effort required for a task, encompassing both mental and

physical exertion. People are often lazy even though they know that

being so will create problems for them, whether that’s more work to do

later, missed opportunities, or negative feelings.

There is no fixed psychological definition of laziness (although it has

been associated with lower measures on one of the “Big Five” personality

traits: conscientiousness). Perhaps that’s because what we call

laziness is actually a cluster of behaviors, beliefs, attitudes, habits,

and emotions. Laziness often overlaps with but is distinct from:

• Procrastination

• Lack of motivation
