People are often lazy even though they know that being so will create problems for them, whether that’s more work to do later, missed opportunities, or negative feelings. There is no fixed psychological definition of laziness (although it has been associated with lower measures on one of the “Big Five” personality traits: conscientiousness). Perhaps that’s because what we call laziness is actually a cluster of behaviors, beliefs, attitudes, habits, and emotions.
