Laziness - How Doing Less Can Bring More Success (Bite-Size Edition)

from Why I‘ll Never Make It · host Patrick Oliver Jones

Overcome with laziness and procrastination, feeling unmotivated, stuck, and just can’t get started? Believe me, you are not alone.  But there is hope when mired in such complacency. However, it may not be the solution you think it is. You and I were taught from an early age that we need to stay busy and keep moving. And while the intent behind those ideals was good, putting them into practice is neither easy nor always helpful.  In this episode, I consider what we do as artists and the energy we expend to see if we can eliminate some actions, to see if laziness can be our guide to achieving a greater impact by doing less. This doesn't mean less is more. It means less can be better.  Explore "laziness" in these articles:   - 7 Reasons Why Lazy People Are More Likely To Be Successful - Lifehack   - BEING LAZY IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS - The Independent   - Science: Lazy people are likely to be smarter, more successful, and better employees.
