I was thinking this morning about laziness. Now most people who know
me think that I am a lazy person and wonder how I survive. The answer
might surprise you. I am actually not lazy. I am picky, not lazy. I
choose what I want to spend energy on and I do it with all of my
energy, all other tasks are an afterthought. Now if that is laziness
then yes I guess I am. For instance, I remember growing up, my stepdad
would make me mow the yard. A task that I hated supremely. Now because
I hated it and didn't want to do it and procrasted about doing it I
was deemed lazy. Yet during that time I procrastinated I was learning
computers and guitar, something that has served me better than having
a cut lawn. Like somehow I was supposed to like physical labor. I
guess it was my procrastination techniques that made me lazy - like
mowing one strip and taking a break. So here they are - follow them
and you will do well:

1. Do the things you like to do and don't do the things you don't like
to do (say that really fast)
2. Organize your tasks in a way that expends the least amount of
physical energy.
3. If you are doing something you don't like to do, make sure you put it off.
4. If you really have to do it, do it in the most efficient energy
expendable way
5. If possible get someone else to do it (by using the Tom Sawyer Method)

The Tom Sawyer Method is kinda what I fashioned my youth after. I was
amazed when I watched the movie when I was a kid about his methods. He
was punished and told to whitewash a fence and instead pretended it
was really fun and then got all the other kids to do the work for him,
while he stood back and "supervised". It was then that I learned that
there were ways to get around working. I took that a step further and
found out that if I pretended to be stupid and acted like I had no
idea how to do something I could get others to do it. Ahh, youth...
Nowadays I can't do that cause well, they'd fire me, plus I actually
do like my job.

Thought of the Day
"There's nothing to talk about."
"Ah, what's there to talk about."
"Well, at least you and I are talking about how there's nothing to talk about."
"Why don't you talk with her about how there's nothing to talk about?"
"She knows there's nothing to talk about."
"At least she'll be talking."
"Oh, shut up."
