Heh... I think the laziness would have to be cured/treated before any of that could happen.

I don't think laziness is like a disease like AIDS or cancer that you treat with medicine or other self treatment. It's something like smoking, a bad habit that a person has to be motivated to change the way they live and see their life. There might be medications to help you quit smoking, but most of the part is on yourself to do so.

I'm too lazy to do all that. Isn't there a pill I can take or something? (besides oxycontin)


yea it's called fresh air. Go to the park with your dog and sniff some of that sh1t. Once you start to relize life is more than just sitting in front of your computer playing video games and posting on internet forums, you will GRADUALLY start being more productive. Try not to make your room like it's the best place to be. Maybe move your computer and TV outside then the only reason to be in your room is to sleep (just how it was meant to be for years until the invention of the computer). I remember i used to be lazy also. One time I had to move out to my own place and I didnt have internet or TV for a month and I never been so productive in my life.

not if you force yourself. People are creatures of habit. If you start new habits, the habits will change you.

But laziness also covers things that need to be done inside the house. Some lazy people might be spending all their time away from home, so none of that ever gets done. I would say that for some people laziness is a habit, but not other people.

Improve your diet, sleep and exercise.

Then you need to change your state of mind. You don't deserve anything but the opportunity to better yourself. It doesn't matter what other people are doing. You're not entitled.



The temporary cheap way? Drugs. Ritalin, caffeine, etc.
