7 Proven Ways to STOP Being Lazy 

If you had the courage to watch this, you are probably not as lazy as you think. A truly lazy person would never look into improving themselves or being more productive.

The laziness comes with social media, watching RU-vid, scrolling Facebook, Instagram and others... Put your phone down and do something, anything...

I'm lazy as hell. It's so frustrating to me. When I decide to change, my brain tells me to sit down.

i wanna stop being lazy but i cant 😭 it feels so good literally doing nothing but im bullying myself for being lazy.

It is the hardest to cure if your laziness is a result of depression, anxiety or regret.

I’m so jealous of those people who get up and like jog at 5am. Go to work. Run errands. Like raise kids all at the same time! I don’t understand how they do it!

1st step: Recognizing that there needs to be a change. 2nd Step: Understanding and listing why you need to change 3rd Step: Relentlessly pursuing how to change (30% of it is HOW. 70% is WHY)

Damn this video diagnosed me with Depression Anxiety Fatigue And that I’m lazy

Trying to not be lazy while battling depression is one of the most difficult things to do

An eye opening video. Ever since I've been retrenched early last year at work due to the Covid 19 pandemic, losing my mother a month after, I haven't been the same anymore. So many friendships broken, broken relationships, etc. Depression, then anxiety, then procrastination, laziness took over. Would spend 2 days without leaving the yard due to social fear. Hopefully the info on this video will propel me to look at my life in a more positive way than always feeling guilty, ashamed and having a sense of fear. Nothing lasts forever!

Let me get some things clear. I didn't graduate, and don't have a job. I still live with my mom, and I'm 20. I know most parents would be pissed and kick them out, etc. But my mom doesn't. She actually knows how I'm feeling and tells me "you just haven't found your passion". But deep down, u feel like its bugging her. Hell, I'm more frustrated than she is. The past few years have been rough for us. I was a drop out all of junior year, prior to getting out of juvy, then on to probation. Plus these last few months haven't been easy either since my great grandma, my grandma, and my grandpa passed away within 6 months. So my situation is a combination of depression, laziness, and unmotivated. It's a HARD habit to get over.

Grief, disappointment, and criticism can all make a person lazy.

"8 stages of laziness." *I guess im all 8*

This video was exactly what I needed and I’ve been struggling with this for about a year and a half now. Sincerely thank you so much for finally giving the answers I’ve been looking for

_I seriously HATE my laziness because i get too many ideas/stories to make but since im lazy i never get to finish them im also scared that it will be removed from my mind_

Im putting this video in Watch later

Great work! In my case frustrated for being lazy and sometimes a lack of direction. I beleive the 3-to-1 lazy work ratio and writing the why to the work I'm doing should create the highly active person I remember I can be.

Most powerful statement for me: imagine yourself in 5 years.

I had to watch this video because I know deep down I was stagnating in my goals, and even after some of the things I've learned in life, I still tended to get lazy due to the reasons just displayed in this video and I fit the category. Simply put, my fears and insecurity was still holding me back, there was still enough negatively within me to stray from my goals, and I had stress over my choices. This is based on how I faced adversity in life, and some of that I didn't take well because people seemed to be just taking what I do, and use their anger mostly, even if it is to help me, put me in a place where I didn't feel good about myself. And that was an insecurity that I was facing my whole life. Even after realizing the intentions of their actions, I still felt bad for myself whenever I faced failure because I had that self-doubt planted in me. It felt like twofold, one by myself, and the other due to others' actions towards me. This culminated in an attitude that no doubt has also affected other people. An attitude where you don't believe in yourself because you hold on to all the things that happened to you that made you feel this way in the first place. You never wanted the things to happen to you, but sometimes you feel stuck with it and you can't get it off. People make attempts to change, but there's still things we still keep while changing and those things become another obstacle to overcome. Hence whenever we face failure, without the sufficient attitude to face it, It feels like we're wasting our times, putting more excuses and other negative transgressions within us, making more unnecessary and untrue reasons to not take action, which affects our future. I have to say that after feeling the way I did, I'm beyond tired of repeating this no good cycle, because I know there's truly no good coming from putting yourself down, getting mad at yourself for your failures, and do all this unnecessary stuff until you die with so much regrets. That's not my life, and neither is anyone else. Thing is, the people who negatively influenced us are gone, and we have a personal responsibility to change ourselves to have a more positive outlook. We have to love ourselves and look forward to face challenges and learning and doing a lot on the way. I know why I felt so down, because how badly I took people getting mad at me for things, whether it was something I did that I shouldn't do, most times unaware or forgotten. Or things I never did do that I was blamed for, and was forced to take it lying down. Plus the people that I faced who was still too immature to see that I'm a guy living like them, but has his own set of challenges trying to learn how to live in this world, they simply choose to treat me how they saw people when they grew up differently, and abuse their abilities to put me or others down. And the last reason is myself, for just taking things in and hardly do enough to question and properly defend myself in my mind, letting insecurities grow without a persistent fight, and letting other peoples' power in their emotion, mostly anger, made me forget my own abilities. All these things culminated in an attitude that's just not best for living life. I do have to accept my weakness, but learn not to hate it, but use it to better myself alongside failure among other things. So I'm ready to try this thing again as many times as it takes. This is a pretty long comment, but when you got so much you want to get off in your chest, a person can't help but to get it out. At that point, it's just not possible for me to keep things usually short and simple. Makes me feel like I'm still holding back.

Internal shame, anxiety, uncertainty. Life is short but this wall that I have is too strong for me to break.😢

Im lazy bc of this phone, i can spend hours in bed in the mornings lmao. But on the days I don’t use my phone I’m fine. It’s just hard not to be at phone when the environment of my house is such that everyone is on the phone/computer etc etc, so there is no one yo talk to. But i just need to discipline myself into studying. I just get very frustrated if i spend a lot of time on something, especially if its a hw that i cant be over with or i don’t understand. I could be motivated and all and then get annoyed after it takes too long. Not only hw tho, but generally even being on RU-vid for too long annoys me. Idk if that’s some kinda mental condition or smth lmao. But yeah anyways I ll be fine, just need to teach self discipline and time management and not procrastinating. Idk why I’m writing this lmao, i guess if someone relates lol.

God, I actually fit into almost every category of laziness. I fail to see how any of things stop you from being lazy though

I failed my last subject on college after I rejected the D grade from elective course. Then this year, I was the only one who passed it with an A. 4 years prior, I've succeeded in becoming full time student at the age of 25. So I went from straight A student to prolonging my study solely because of laziness. I started going back to gym 2 weeks ago and results are there. Got my V taper going, started to stretch my shirts at their upper portions, but I still have a lot of fluff to remove. It just goes on to show, when somebody is motivated and organized, they can achieve a lot. P.S. here's my monologue on laziness: There is not such thing that will make you more empty inside than laziness.

Thank you so much for this video. It is very clear and inspiring. ♡ I have multiple listed reasons for procrastination, but I sincerely want to change that. My biggest fear is that I don't have time and regret. Anxiety and depression too...

If youtube has done anything for me, it has revealed that there are so many funny people in the world. I love the comment section.

I'm insecure about myself and wanna change but I'm to lazy so now I'm here

me : why am i lazy also me : *literally cant sleep at night*

I feel lazy, ugly, anxious, useless, I feel like I cant do anything right. I know I have to start, I know what to do to change that, but I never seem to have the power to do it, therefore I am always feeling like a big failure.

Laziness is due to lack of purpose and doing something you don't love. Finding something one is passionate about gives a direction in life.

We all need to install the 5 second rule in our lives because we're never going to FEEL LIKE doing many of the things we need to do every day. Count to 5 and get up and do whatever needs doing before the brain has a chance to kick in and stop you. I learned about this yesterday and I know it will work if I can master it. Self discipline is the only way we can get anywhere in this world. And most of us don't have much self discipline going on.

I’ve been so lazy these past few days. And it really helped me. I needed this.

Hi these steps are so helpful to the point thanks for helping people like us .this video is so valuable to watch and take notes to improve and all the issues you are tackling are about laziness feeling it’s not so much as laziness but clueless as to what is valuable to do with your time every day !

‘Don’t let those failures destroy your motivation and self-esteem’ Easier said than done

This really gave me something to think about. So happy I found it when I needed help ☺️

I have a thing where I talk down on myself whenever my study results are bad. After each of those times I always swear that I'll change but then a part of me says that it's too late now and I'll be watching RU-vid in guilt for the next few hours. I feel like I'm trapped in a vicious cycle but I'm trying to become more productive by watching this video .

i have all the 8 types of laziness

what happens when i’m so lazy i don’t even want to watch netflix ... i just lie in bed and do nothing but overthink

i really hate being lazy, but still laziness enters in everytime, so i searched and found this

Every night I would always picture a productive day tomorrow and when I don't do it I get really frustrated bcuz I wasted my time doing nothing. I'm kinda improving now but I'm not consistent, so my not-so-helpful advice is to just force yourself to do it cuz no one else would do it for you.

Thank You TOPTHINK, for yet another great video ! I used to be lazy some years back, but the way I changed from being lazy and unproductive, to being productive is writing down what I need to do the day before, right before bedtime ! It is incredible what you can accomplice, when you just put pen to paper and write down your small goals for the next day, I even got so productive I started my own youtube channel, inspired by you and others! So thanks again, and you all have a nice day !

Depression afraid of failure Anxiety lack of motivation all sounds like my life

I used to deny that I was lazy, because well my stepfather would raise me to believe, that laziness deserves punishment, and of course sometimes he would actually punish me for it, so for a long time I just was in denial of being lazy, but now I'm starting to come to terms with the fact that I kind of am, and trying to change it.

Thankyou for this video, i think my laziness comes from my insecurity, i never confident with my ability than i was scared to do something new. I hope this video can make me more productive and brave to do something new

you not being lazy, you are just tired of this world

Me: is extremely lazy and only does the most necessary stuff Me: wants to stop being lazy and start being productive Also me: *starts this video and goes back to Netflix after having watched two seconds of it*

Thank you so much I feel highly motivated already 🏆

Thank you for this video, I needed to hear this!

I simply leave this video looping in the background whenever I'm doing my work, and it works wonders stopping me from procrastinating. Thanks a lot for your help. God bless you all.

I totally agree with the self definition part....most people fail to overcome laziness even though how much they try to overcome it by watching tips and tricks on how to be productive but they do not know that their core belief that they are lazy is what's really holding them back

Omg… Every time I feel lazy for whatever reason… I put this video on then after a few minutes I get moving. Thank you so much this is the best I’ve ever heard. I wish I could give you a thousand thumbs up. This has helped me so much when nothing else has. And I mean this.

I hate being so lazy so much. Somethings wrong with me I feel so upset in my self but I just can't stop! This laziness has been stopping me from doing something I love. I can't take it. I need to stop im tired of this

I'm just always tired, like all the time.

Watching this exhausted me.

Ive tried using self harm to stop being lazy. Heads up doesnt work, setting a goal and having friends help is what does work.

its anxiety, depression and regret for me..it hurts so much.i try and try and its me, my mind that always gets me. Ill take a step finally to do good be motivated and work and the next thing you know..everything comes back and i keep letting it win..

Today it was "too late" to do exercise. I woke up at 1pm (holidays..), watched youtube videos, it was 4pm and I had to eat... I postponed eating and did 25 mins of work out, took a shower and now I'm having lunch. 5 pm.

I stop watching at 3 mins, too lazy to continue

Pomodoro technique helps so much with this - 25 minutes of working straight, separated by 5 minute breaks (not using your phone, which stimulates your brain - but doing things such as meditating, drinking water, clearing your mind, spacing out even, etc.)!

This is actually really useful and inspiring. Thank you!

I really like the idea of earning lazy time. You can make yourself do just about anything if there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you, this really helps me, since laziness is always my biggest enemy. A lot of times I gave up easily when I failed once, but that doesn't mean that I should give up right away since everybody also failed a lot of time, so it's true to believe in myself that I am capable of doing it.

When my peers have been stabilized already, here I am who's thinking of what are my passions to pursue in order to become a financially stable person, and what I want in my life. It's hard for me to think of how can I overcome these things, and I don't want to blame my depression for it. It's just that, I want to be released from this poor mindset. This video helps me for getting a closure as to what I should be doing, and sadly, I need to fight for this alone, and honestly, I don't know how to, I just can't work alone. I hope that one day, I would be able to learn little by little how to overcome myself and this mindset.

Thank you soooo much.. God bless you‼️🦋

I was always a very active person with good work ethic. I'm at a point where I dont want to be bothered with anything. I hate work and responsibilities. I've fantasized about living on an island with minimal cares. Meow

Im too lazy to finish the video

Very awesome advices! Thank you so much for your sharing~

Thank you sir!!!

Great video. I wish more people understood that laziness isn't a part of who they are, and it's instead only a symptom of something else that's going on.

Thanks a lot for the great video and for the advice, information and tips.

This is the best piece of content on understanding and overcoming laziness I've ever seen. Thank you. Great content and great delivery.

This video was phenomenal! Thank you

Thank you very much; this video was really helpful !

I'm the type of lazy that keeps on finding ways to have less to do and achieve more from it

Thanks for always give us more tips to reach the TOP that we are always THINKing about.

I just really love my soft bed and intriguing dreams. - I personally lack self discipline, easily get demotivated when I realise how much I suck, really love the calmness of relaxation, and I identified as a lazy person.

Am so that lazy, that i feel a lot of work in charging my phone.. opening it.. unlocking it.. and searching on RU-vid... What a big work!!

i’m lazy, i have no motivations anymore. all i do is stay in bed all day except for eating. i’m not depressed i’m just tired because everything i want to do, i never do it.

its funny how true that first one is, like saying your tired when your really depressed.

Wow I shed some tears watching this because it really just made me think about myself and my life

"Be kind yourself", It was very touching word, Thanks bro
