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
