My mom always told me that there is no such thing as "lazy". If you dig deeper, you always find a real reason behind that word, and it's not "laziness". It may be exhaustion, fears, subconscious logic, physics, chemistry, or something else.

If there's on thing I learned from my few years bodybuilding. Your rest days are when you make your most gains, you can spend 4 to 6 hours in the gym everyday, but if you don't rest, you won't see any progress. Likewise, if you work yourself to the ground, you get progressively worse results than you would have with small rest breaks & hitting the gym (or whatever you are doing) at full energy again. That rest day is when your body refills and recovers so you can get back at it tomorrow.

There is a giant hole in this video. For years I thought I was lazy and worthless. I got depression and believed I did not have the discipline of other people. I watched KZread and played lots of games, and struggled to keep a full-time job. Turns out I had Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. I was chronically fatigued. The fatigue would not go away, regardless of how much I slept or how many breaks I took. There was nothing I could do to help, except get treatment for my medical condition. I am still struggling to get proper/effective treatment but doing much better now that I know what is going on with my body. Hypothyroidism is not rare. Other conditions that cause chronic fatigue are not rare. It took me about 10 years to find out about it, since my symptoms started. People need to know that if they have this chronic struggle, they may have a medical problem. Depression can cause it too. For me, my depression was caused by a physical condition that could be treated.

I ended up for weeks in hospital and after an MRI and a spinal tap was diagnosed with MS which, according to the MRI findings, I had had for years. The acute symptoms were a relapse. So, turned out my laziness was actually fatigue caused by a disease. The symptoms I mentioned above went away eventually, thank God.

I don't feel like any of you are bringing up the fact that he's not demonising anyone who naturally does less work than others. He doesn't name the specific disease or kind of disease, sure. But he still gives a solution to all the "Lazy" people who find it hard to do work. Work for 5 - 10 minutes every 45 minutes of time spent not working. I don't have any of your illnesses, so I could never understand how it feels, but I still doubt the 5-10 minutes of work could too hard to do

It's not all that easy to differentiate..it's a fine line sometimes and it can be a mixture. Laziness will make you feel tired and fatigue will make you feel lazy. Most people are tired now because of the 24/7 lifestyle.. we're overstimulated. Wired but tired!

All my life I beat myself up over my laziness, lack of discipline, lack of motivation and inability to make sustained physical or mental effort. For years I took anti depressants after being diagnosed with depression even when I clearly knew the depression stemmed from my laziness and inability to be perpetually productive and not the other way around. At 42 I found out that I had ADHD and while things are pretty much the same, at least I have no guilt, am happy and most importantly my family is happy as a result.

I probably do too, but I'm too lazy to go find out. Is there anything that can be done to improve the situation? If not and it's just about peace of mind, then I'll just decide to be ok with it. Solved. Ok, I guess that doesn't really work, but ...

Sometimes we are so tired that 1 day rest isn't enough. We ended up resting more days, and that is when the line between lazy and tired disappears.

This was helpful, but at the same time it was based on comparing two neuro-normative people and din't take into account people who struggle with mental health or nuero-divergency. For years I thought I was lazy and consistently beat myself up about it (and my parents didn't help). Turns out I'm autistic (or have an SPD, my doctor still isn't sure yet), and I've been struggling with depression and anxiety for y ears but didn't realise it. Now, when I'm struggling to get the motivation, I try to be more understanding of what my body's going through and not be so harsh on myself. Every day is a struggle though.

God the "if you're lazy start by doing 5-10 minutes of work for every 45 minutes of rest" part is SO SMART! I can definitely do that!

Yeah, a very critical differentiation to make. ALSO: Determine if you might simply be physically tired as in 'you need sleep'. Because that is also definitely something that absolutely kills your motivation, mood and productivity.

I had similar thoughts watching the video. When I was at a really dark depressive episode earlier this year, it coincided with my summer break, and I had no obligations, and I literally had no mental energy for creative hobbies or exercise, all effort I could afford was tapping through some games on my tablet. So I was like this guy: never studied, never exercised, never worked on hobbies. Thank God I had enough self-love to NOT beat myself up for being “lazy” back then, or it would’ve made the matters even worse. So I agree, the analysis of the first guy lacks context.

To call the first chap lazy seemed critical. There are so many reasons that could explain this individual's lack of motivation and I was seriously thinking if he has no goals and isn't motivated there is something psychologically deeper happening there. Even though this video does well to say others shouldn't be judged, no one should be brandished lazy if we don't know the facts. I agree with some other comments that 'lazy' is a harmful world that gets thrown around too often.

My name is John, and the John in this video almost describes me perfectly. I didn't study in high school. I stopped exercising in high school. I've never really had any goals, or any hobbies. I usually just sit around watching TV, movies, sports, or KZread, and sometimes playing video games. And sadly I find myself not really trying to work more hours at work. I find myself getting unmotivated easily too. I've always known I was lazy, but because I'm so unmotivated, and have no goals, or hobbies, I just don't know what to do with myself, or how and/or where to get started. When I left high school, there was one friend I stayed in contact with. But that past 2 years, we've moved further apart from each other. We barely talk, and barely even hang out anymore. So it's basically like I have no friends to motivate me either.

The way it was explained to me a few years ago is that laziness will provide no results and productivity will. Being productive dose not mean working really hard. My neighbor and I would mow our lawns every Sunday. The other neighbor every now and then. Our lawns were getting infested with Johnson grass a nuisance weed. My neighbor started mowing his lawn three times a week to keep it under control. I went and bought weed killer concentrate and started spraying my lawn during the week targeting the areas that were concentrated with weed, being the weeds grew faster than the ornamental grass. I had dry spots where the poison had eradicated large patches of weeds which annoyed some of my neighbors and the began saying I was lazy because they felt I should be like my neighbor mowing three times a week instead to control the issue. A few months later the ornamental grass took over the dead spots and I was easily mowing my lawn on Sunday, my neighbor had a nice lawn as well but worked twice as hard with the same results. The third neighbor had his yard covered in overgrown weeds and eventually payed someone to mow his lawn. So who is really the lazy person.

So I've never known what it is I should go and do.

Frederick the Great said that everyone had two traits: Industry and intelligence. People were a mixture of these two traits, and he evaluated that mixture to determine what job a person was suitable for in his army. He got rid of stupid and industrious people immediately -- they were just too dangerous to keep around. There was always some use to be found for stupid and lazy people. The intelligent and industrious were put to work on his staff. But above all, he prized the intelligent and lazy. These people he made commanders of his corps. They were lazy enough that they wanted to find the easiest way to get things done and smart enough to figure out how. Plus, they were courageous enough to defy convention and do what was easy. The point of all this is that laziness is not a problem -- if it motivates you to find the easiest and best way to accomplish your goal. It only becomes a problem when you are too lazy to implement the method you develop. As long as you accomplish your goals, you SHOULD be lazy.

I have a friend who I used to play games together with on the internet a lot. Firstly, we played on the PC and everything was well. Then one day he said he wanted to start playing consoles instead because he thought it was more "grown up" to play on consoles. One day I realized he had lied, and he actually just wanted to try to play less games, and he thought that he would become more of a casual gamer if he threw away his computer. Surely, we spent less time playing together, partly because there is a monthly fee on consoles to play online, and I am pretty broke always. However, it seems it wasn't enough for him, and he constantly keeps reducing the time we play together, and now he wants to sell his playstation. He also told me that it is very easy for him to create a habit of playing too much games if he has them available, and that this is the reason he needs to sell it. I told him that I rarely play multiplayer games without a friend and that he could do it in the same way, thereby keeping it just as a social hobby. He instead presented me with the idea that we can play if I come over to his house but I tried to argue that it is the same action regardless of if we play online or in the couch with each other. Needing to commute one hour just to play an hour is not always a journey worth taking. We both have fun playing together and I think that the time we spend socializing/talking together while playing is more important than the game itself, but we very seldomly call each other on the phones to just talk. We basically loose contact with his strategy. Anyway, my friend is the kind of guy who goes to the gym every day, and he also never wants to eat sugar nor food like pizza (although I know he slips often). But in principle, he believes that he must live this kind of life since effort/suffering gives reward, and pleasures like playing video games are bad. But, I also know that he enjoys having a good time socializing and he likes to have good spontaneous experiences. He does in other words not think it is unnecessary to have fun. But I was wondering, if he don't want to play games, why is he still watching movies or TV? Shouldn't he stop all kinds of activities that are not "healthy". Why is he labeling some sorts of fun activities as bad and others as okay? Why is he so unnecessary obsessed with being healthy? Even to the extent that he sacrifices his social life? He is exactly like the guy in this video, thinking that he has never exercised enough, thinking that he can never reward himself with a treat of sugar, a fatty meal or some time together just chilling. Is it possible to do a video that can explain to him that he does not need to be so extremely strict with everything? His rules are stupid and I think it makes more harm than good. It is not as if he has decided to become a nun. For me, it seems he just randomly labels some things as bad (in this case online games, pizza, chips, soda), thereby preventing us from hanging out which we both like. It is so irritating. If I try to argue with him, it only sounds like I try to persuade him into "bad" habits like excessive gaming. Therefore, I wanted to just show him a video instead that can explain it to him, but this video is only partly relevant for his problem. That is why I was wondering if you think this is enough material to make a video about guys who are stuck in this constant 100% healthy life thinking, when he in reality only is very selective with his rules, and also breaks them from time to time, even though he always speaks as if he never eats sugar and so on. It seems he is 100% strict on the wrong occasions. And in other occasions when he should not be strict, he isn't. Like some days ago, he went to a BBQ and ate something like 10 hamburgers/steaks and stuff in one evening. Just because it wasn't pizza or sugar, he allowed himself to eat this huge amount of food even though he goes on a diet. Another time we went out together eating after a long day of bicycling. I said we should go get a sturdy meal after all the exercise but he insisted we go to an asian restaurant so that he could get some "healthy" sushi. He was so hungry that he started to be irritated so we went to the sushi place. After finishing his medium sized sushi meal, he announced that he needs to go home quickly since he will become hungry again soon and needs to prepare dinner at home. It was already late, and I was perplexed. Rice is a pretty heavy food, and he was still planning on eating a second dinner that day. Why can't he see that his effort is going to waste when he eats two dinners, which both were pretty high in calories. Just because sushi is labeled as healthy, it does not mean it is low on calories and that he can eat multiple dinners. I think he constantly makes these mistakes, preventing him from getting any success in his endeavors as well as preventing him from enjoying life when he should do. Please, we need to make a video to make his thinking become straight, and to make him realize when he should be abstemious and when it is okay to enjoy things. It is not as if every time we suffer, we automatically get something as a reward although he seems to think this is how it works.

Actually mentally exhaustion is what makes us feel that we have no energy and make us believe we can't do and feel physically exhausted, it's the fact I've experimented his on myself so many times, most of the times you can't do any physical activity just because you believe you can't do even though you are not physically tired your mind make you feel like you are and this hurts our productivity, that's why positive people are more successful.

How do you manage taking a break and not letting it seep into your work time? I ended up being very depressed and sad with myself for my lack of self control regarding this and instead I do marathon work and binge rest but I am not sure if this is healthy either. Would appreciate your advice

videogames, by definition, are hobbies.....

hobbies should be productive in one way or another. If you play games that teach you things, are social or make you think, then they can be a productive hobby. However, many people play games that don’t have much of a purpose and don’t add anything of value to their life. This might be mobile games or shooters. You’d have to judge for yourself whether you are getting anything out of playing games. Just like you have to judge whether watching videos or tv is valuable or a waste of time.

Brian I don’t need you to define hobby for me. I was telling you how he distinguishes between “hobby” and wasting time

If I have anxiety and depression am I lazy or just tired . I have a chronic illness too , so I have no energy left whatsoever most of the time. Am I lazy or tired. It's not like I haven't tried to regain myself I try and I push myself so much so much that instead of benefiting me it makes my health worse. Everyone wants me to work work work. It's not like I am happy not being able to be productive . But everyone lables me as lazy , excuse making person . I don't know want to do anymore
