Yes, science has shown over and over again that we can't "multitask." The term "multitask" has been bastardized from its origin. The term "multitask" originated at Japanese factories in the 50s and 60s. It referred to training factory workers to cover the processes just before and just after the process they were responsible for performing. With this training, they could prevent or ease backups on the line. It was never intended to justify forcing workers to do three jobs at once.

Yep. That's exactly what I doing now. I suffered from PTSD after my husband died. I was his caregiver for years, worked, and saturated with stress. Almost killed myself twice by jumping in front of the train and drowning myself. Through therapy, I learned to listen to my body and not the noises of other people. Slow process but very rewarding.

The worst name one could be called in our home was the word "Lazy". My parents were depression-era kids who grew up with "You don't work you don't eat". I learned to do "nothing" when I owned my own business (a B&B) and took time to sit on the porch swing and watch the birds and trees blossom. My parent would say "You are being Lazy" if I wasn't doing my task the hard/long way. My response was "I'm being efficient" - getting the same results using shorter/quicker methods.

@@susanjones6410 Since my situation is similar (I work two days a week, medical field) I will tell you "how I got here" while you wait for the original poster to reply. First off, I grew up very simple so I don't even want things that most people want. My kids are grown and gone and I'm widowed. I have a mobile home that was paid off in six years so no housing expense now except property taxes which is pretty low on mobile homes. Having lived here so long, I know my home inside and out and can do most repairs myself. I paid cash for my used vehicle which I've had for ten years. My bills are electricity, water, groceries, vehicle liability insurance, and a landline phone bundled with internet. That's it. I love simple country foods like beans, cornbread, potatoes, oatmeal, grits, eggs, milk and produce from my garden. I cut my own hair and don't spend money on manicures, pedicures, tv cable, movie channels or eating out. You Tube provides more than I can keep up with to watch, including concerts, movies, and news. Since I enjoy my backyard (mow it myself) and hardly ever go anywhere, I need very few clothes which I get at thrift stores and I spend about $8 a month on gasoline. My entertainment is birdwatching in my backyard, gardening, nature walks, camping, playing my piano, exercising, talking on the phone, reading, and You Tube. I save money so that when I need car repairs or an unexpected expense, I have the money. Also have occasionally taken trips to Alaska, NYC, and the Caribbean. The key is to pay off everything and know how to actually enjoy living on "nothing". I have so much time! I love my life. It's so uncomplicated and free!!

I think we need to stop using the word "lazy" and replace it to what some of us actually mean when we say "we're feeling lazy", and that's "burned out", "exhausted", and "tired". Lazy is when you refuse to do any work, the opposite of ambition, like you still have energy but you use that energy to goof off when you should be doing work.When you're burned out or just plain tired, you have no more energy to give. That's a sign of overwork and that you need to rest, however rest looks like to someone, e.g. sleeping, spa day, playing video games, watching sports, hanging out with friends and family, etc. The example with the lions, I wouldn't call them lazy. They are just efficient when it comes to energy management. Back when we were hunter gatherers, we only used a few hours of our day to do what we needed for survival, such as getting food, and had the rest of our day to do what we wanted. Then somewhere around 10-12 kya we settled down and got into an exhaustive subsistence system called agriculture. It takes so much work to grow crops, and if it's a bad harvest you starve. On top of agriculture, as our society grew more complex, we developed systems that kept us busy with the mindset that if you're not working then you're doing something wrong. Our society as a whole (at least in the US), needs to learn that resting is okay and necessary. And our govt can help with that by mandating that employers give their employees at least 3 weeks of PTO for the year. One week of PTO and 3 sick days for a whole year is so ridiculous!

I retired early a few years ago. For the first year, I felt like I had to be productive but eventually I was able to slow down. Unfortunately, I slowed down too much and was spending a LOT of time doing nothing but watch KZread videos on things I wanted to try (but not much time actually doing it). I got so tired of sitting around doing nothing I actually went back to work to have something to do. But full time work made the pendulum swing too far so next month I will go part-time. I’m hoping to find the right balance with this move.

Our digital always-turned-on world has robbed of us of so much joy. When was the last time you wrote a letter or sent a card instead of an email, text or emoji? When was the last time you made a phone call instead of texting? How often do you look at all your Facebook followers and ask yourself “who are these people?” We cheat ourselves of real and meaningful lives everyday.

Excellent piece!

Don't ever show this to a middle school student. They will take their current level of laziness and go 10x

I take a nap daily but I have to. Im disabled and body shuts down after 4 hrs up on my feet. Im losing weight and use to not be able to do 2 hrs. 220 now to 209.. Hope to be back to my 175 which is normal for me. I will do it.

You can do it! I don't know you but I'm proud of you. Keep going!

I’m not lazy, I just don’t care.

Social media and wifi are main culprits stopping us from having a lazy time. We are unable to focus on our work even for an hour, and that makes us appear busy all the time becs we are dividing our time ... a distraction that Albert Einstein, Charles Dickens and others at that time did not have. Good lesson to follow

Surrounded with people who seem to be always running from something with busyness. I think its themselves they are running from, like they cant stand a moment of quiet reflection or their own company. Then they call you lazy if your schedules are not full like theirs. Bless their hearts

I heard the lady say the cult mentality is that you must work hard to have value. Is “value” important? Value implies productivity. Stop trying to have value. After retirement, it is antithetical.

I think once people get perspective they will recognize what's important. I don't over work myself anymore because I'm not doing extra for my employer. I will put in extra for my family time and self care. I'm better for it

It's amazing how balanced your mind becomes when it isn't constantly being pushed and pulled by endless stimuli. Breathe and be present. The slower you are, the longer the moment lasts.

I love being lazy at home ❤ everyone tells me to get a life. I love my life as is. I'm a business owner and I spend my time between work and home. And I'm completely content.

Dont compare us with world wide successsful writers and painters, we have to work all day and they are most gifted people!!
