Are You Lazy?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm awfully lazy. It's a momentous occasion if I get anything accomplished in a day. It's not that I want to be lazy, but it's a habit I need to break by building self-motivation because I have things I could accomplish but the payoff is so far away.

The question is, are you just as lazy?

On alt.support.autism, they have called laziness autistic inertia. I like that. It adds some semblance of scientificity to a character flaw.

'Times I am, 'times I ain't. I can be quite the work-a-holic sometimes. But now I've just come back from my summer vacation and am strongly planted in my 'slack' mode. For me it is about building momentum so that I have trouble not working.

Executive dysfunction makes me lazy. Tonight stimming has made me lazy.

I've been stimming on the same passage of a song for the past three hours or so.

I'm definately lazy, no questions asked. Why do you think I'm on here so much?

i am relly good at being slack most often when I am stressed I can sleep up to 19 hours a day then spend the other 5 on the net not good mix with year 12

I am terribly lazy and yet when I get really 'into' something I can be at it for hours on end.

Firing up my enthusiasm can be difficult when, as others have said, payback may not be forthcoming or is too far off in the future. Disappointments from the past can still be lurking and that helps to sap vital energies.

I often find as well, that when I undertake something I am happy with it for a while, but it is never quite to my satisfaction by the time I have finished it.

I am also too good at going into 'retreat mode', which usually entails reading or re-reading some of my favourite books for weeks on end.

I also seem to have a tendency to read a programming textbook, but not actually do the necessary programming to make sure I really understand what I am doing. Also, distraction is another bug-bear of mine sometimes.

Sometimes I am,sometimes I'm not.

Sorry to say VERY LAZY.

Need to learn not to be so LAZY. After 42 yrs. bad habbits hard to BREAK.

I'm sorta lazy but I think its more procrastination then anything else that causes this.

About as lazy an an obsessive-compulsive performance-fixated achievement-hungry control-feak can be.

Bone idle, and a terrible procrastinator.

I wish I wasn't... But it's hard to get out of this nicely carved and rather comfy rut I seem to be in...

I'd make a nice long post about how lazy I am, but I can't be bothered.
