How can I motivate myself to do something when I am feeling lazy?

Remind yourself of the payout and consequences.  I loathe dusting; but the payout is I love having a cleaner house.  The consequences are I'm allergic to dust -- less dust = less allergies.  I also tend do the stuff I don't really want to, while I'm doing something lazy -- I get a tremendous amount done during commercials.  Another payout for me is I feel like I've gotten something unpleasant done, so I can reward myself.  Though, sometimes that "reward" is being lazy, LOL...

Kick back and do nothing. I just want to get caught up on some rest. Be lazy for one day.

There can be a difference.  If it has to do with work it's probably not that you're lazy, you just haven't found something you're passionate about or enjoy doing so you lack motivation to work hard at it.  If you're making an effort with your life then you're not lazy, but if you're not feeling motivated in what you're doing right now, you haven't found that thing that you're passionate about.  You'll eventually find it and that's good that you're friend feels that you're not capable of being lazy.  Sometimes people get into slumps and need time to come out of them.  I'm going through the same thing! Good luck!

If you are not motivated to do everyday things then you may suffer from depression. Please see a doctor if this sis the case.

1. Find something you love doing and go for it!\n\n2. If you have to do something you are not so keen on, you have to develop motivation by thinking of the goal or payoff you get from it.\n\nFor example, if you have to clean out the garage and have been putting it off, just imagine how you would feel when the garage is clean, the junk thrown away. What a relief you would feel. If you can see the desired objective, imagine it vividly, and make it seem real and concrete, you will be more inspired to do the necessary work to reach your goals.\n\n3. Define your goals specifically, your time frame, and the steps you have to take to reach your goals. Making your objectives specific and measureable go a long way in keeping you on track.\n\n4. Take small steps and celebrate each milestone toward your goal. For example, you want to reduce your wieght, but haven't been able to keep on a diet. Make a plan to reduce a few pounds each week, measure your progress on a chart, and celebrate your success on meeting each weekly goal (but not by eating, of course!).

ok you're obviously feeling crappy about something you've done. whatever it was, if you really want to change, make a sacrifice that will make things better for someone that you've hurt. Also, feeling crap isn't enough. You have to make yourself a promise that you will actually change.. but most importantly, you need to actually stop being a bad person, and excercise some will power when the moment of temptation actually comes. that's what it all come down to- the moments of truth.

Lets just say that you have overcome half of the problem -at least you realize that you are always late.\n\nNow there are two ways to do this:\n\n1. There has to be one or two thing that you are always on time for, there has to be something that you value in your life. Perhaps lets just take a look at what do you do that delays you, other than what needs to be done. If you can isolate those interests, may be then try to see if there is any career and growth possiblities in those activities? I assure you if you are able to find what you love doing and if it is rewarding too, you will never be late or feel bad about yourself.\n\n2. You need to have a disciplinarian in your life, get an instructor, get someone who matters to you and try to improve these habits. Furthermore, you have to either yourself or with the help of friend -start to exercise, this way your body will remain agile and your mind will be fresh to keep you going.\n\nThese will ultimately lead you decide your motivational factors -it is just not possible that you do not feel motivated at all. The problem will be resolved when you have your motivations and your targets in place.\n\nAs a human being we all have a mechanism of self satisfaction and achievement. We need to feel good about something and you need to see whether this feeling is when you are late or when you are in time.

Get some motivational tapes, or keep a list of goals in sight.  Also, it helps to create a routine.  Put a picture of something you want to reward yourself with, up somewhere so you can see something you are working toward.

My suggestion is to make lists, so you can cross off things when you do them. If it has to be so simple that you write down get up at 9, do that! Try very hard not to vary the times you go to bed and get up. Most articles I have read in the health magazines say that a consistent bedtime and wake up time are the most helpful. And don't vary it on the weekends!!! \n\nAs far as motivation, set goals. I will do 3 new things a day just for me. And if you are in to it, write down what you did and how it felt, if you would do it again, or not. Try something you have always wanted to do but "thought you were too busy."  \n\nAnother good solution is FLYLADY.com. She breaks things up into workable parts. Try that.

Yes, you may think your lazy because you do all those things that sound like a lazy person.  However, I doubt you could be a successful individual with two degrees, a professor's job, a family and goal-oriented by being lazy.  \nIt's called resting.  In between doing all of those things, you deserve a break.  Sleep in late, grab an ol' taco out of the fridge and catch up on your TIVO.  When you start feeling Lazy, get back to your successful life.

The best way of avoiding laziness is not be a lazy person. \nIf you know that you are lazy, accept that fact, and try to do things that suit your laziness.  Remember, being lazy is not a crime or a bad thing, but trying to avoid laziness and doing up things to prevent lazyness can land you in hot water and terse situations. Believe me.
