ON THE ISSUE OF LAZINESS AND EFFICIENCY

In this age, where so many innovations and inventions have simplified the way we approach and complete tasks, there is now a thin line between doing things the easy way and doing things the efficient way. We can now afford to be lazy and still be efficient.

Lazy people usually want to do little or no work. Some of them don't even care about the future or even the present. The only thing lazy people want in common is comfort.

Efficient people on the other hand have a set of plans and they possess the will to work towards achieving their aims. Efficient people always find the easiest and quickest way to complete a task in a satisfactory manner.

Inactivity should never be confused for laziness. In certain instances, patient waiting can actually solve some issues. To ascertain laziness, one would have to weigh the efforts being dedicated to completing a certain task against the magnitude and urgency of the task itself.

Being ever-active should also not be confused for efficiency. Efficiency is dependent on performing a task with as little energy, resource and time as possible without sacrificing quality.
Efficient people are usually very dynamic and alert. They can adjust to emergency situations as quickly as possible. On the surface, they might appear to do less, but that is usually because they sometimes spend more time thinking things through and forecasting possible outcomes before acting. For this reason, they are usually more efficient than usual.

Laziness is a mindset and it is highly relative Usually it is not for the onlooker to decide. It is something the subject would have to find out on a personal level. Of course that would explain why most of those people you call lazy would never agree with you. For me, I always try to be lazily efficient 😁
