How to Enjoy The Benefits of Being Lazy
Because you don’t need to be productive all the time
If there is anything that self-professed self-help gurus will agree on, it is the topic of productivity. Not the way to reach it, but the concept. Productivity and the lack of it. In every shape and form, productivity seems to be the single most important aspect of how you manage your life, how you achieve anything and how you handle your problems.
During the past few months, productivity was the go-to solution for handling this new life. You can’t leave the flat but you can still get up at 5 am to get things done. You don’t know what the future will bring but you can still keep a strict routine. You don’t get to go to the beach, but working on your beach body shouldn’t be hindered by the lockdown. Productivity seems to be the answer to everything.
As if it was a miracle cure for social isolation. As if success could help you manage your loneliness. As if feeling accomplished could magically solve every aspect of your life.
And on the same notes, we have been reading about laziness. Articles that absolve you, telling you that you are not lazy, you are tired. That you are not lazy, you are just dealing with things differently than others. That you are not lazy if you are not producing all the time.
