This can't be overstated. In college, the smartest guy I knew was also the laziest. He used to tell me different ideas he had for how to be the laziest person imaginable while still living a comfortable life, which were always amusing. He could destroy anybody else on campus at chess without effort and not paying attention, focusing instead on EverQuest or some other videogame he was simultaneously playing.
