Laziness is a Problem
Many people don't realize that laziness is a real problem. This is because laziness has become part of our society's social norms. People say things like "I just don't feel like doing anything today." This kind of attitude is now an acceptable excuse to do nothing.
What Can Laziness Lead to?
Being lazy can can lead to the loss of a job, obesity, failing class, and many more issues in our society. These seem like a very random list of things that don't have any kind of connection but if you think about it they all have a lot to do with laziness. If you aren't doing your job, you are going to loss it. If you never work out or eat fast food all the time, you are going to gain weight. If you aren't doing homework or paying attention in class, you aren't going to pass you class.
Ways to Prevent Laziness
Exit Out of Social Media When Working
Exiting out of social media makes it so you don't see that you have a notification on something and you will be less distracted.
Take Short Breaks
Taking 2-5 minute breaks every 15-20 minutes will allow your brain a rest and let you refocus on the task on hand.
Get the Right Amount of Sleep
Getting not enough sleep makes you tired and worn out. Believe it or not sleeping to much has the same effect. 7-8 hours is the recommended amount for adults and 8-9 hours is the recommended amount for teenagers.
