The post is just suggesting that you (and the people around you) keep digging through the Whys and don't stop at "I can attribute this to laziness".
> The solution, instead, is to look for what is holding the procrastinator back. If anxiety is the major barrier, the procrastinator actually needs to walk away from the computer/book/word document and engage in a relaxing activity. Being branded “lazy” by other people is likely to lead to the exact opposite behavior.
- donatj 5y agoAnd the article is wrong, plain and simple. Written by someone who is apparently not lazy and can’t comprehend the idea. Just because you can’t fathom something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, that’s a logical fallacy. Being lazy is absolutely a thing, and just a person unreasonably weighting the value of the now over the later. I weighted the value of being in bed right now higher than the value of not moving brush in 90°F weather later, which I then even later regretted. And I will do it again. Why? My value weighting function in my brain is flawed; that’s what it means to be lazy. There is no deeper reason.
