Sometimes... like I should be doing so much more. But if I don't relax I'm to beat to do anything well. I do feel guilty sometimes, but I know our bodies and minds need rest sometimes. How do you know though, whether you should relax or get busy doing something productive? I guess that's something we all have to consider. I used to be really bad at feeling guilty about this, so I decided to come up with a plan. A plan for relaxation. I would put into priority what needed to be done and what could wait. Not procrastinating, but waiting and not filling up my plate too quick. It seemed to help, it just takes some discipline.

Really, it's a matter of organization and committment.  Are you organized, and do you prioritize?  Are you committed to getting the job done?  It sounds like you are.  Problem one solved.\n\nProblem two is that your tasks are taking longer than you expected.  Have you examined why they are taking longer?  Is it because you did not have all of the information or tools available?  Is it because the tasks were more complex than you originally thought?  Is it because you've allowed interruptions or other time-wasters to interfere?  Do you have a grasp of how long it typically takes you to accomplish certain tasks?\n\nIt does sound like it is a matter of understanding the time needed to complete tasks.  I would recommend the first step is some self-observation. Keep of a log of what you do and when you do it for a week.  Use that information to determine the length of time that is required to accomplish your tasks.  This will provide a better understanding so that the next time, you can commit without having to worry that you have not over-extended yourself.\n\nGood luck!

Do you prefer leisure activities?  \n-> Cruise!\n-> RV across America (or do it on a Harley!)\n\nDo you miss that feeling of "productivity"?\n->  work on a cruise ship!\n->  get into crafts (wood, metal,...), paint, or make sculptures (and sell them?)\n->  work part-time at a golf shop, hardware store, \n->  teach at community college

I am married 3 children. I work between 36-48 hours a week depending on the week. I take care of my house and children. I am well organized, I run the house, pay the bills, help kids with homework, I do it all. I can label myself as a perfectionist because everything has to be done correctly at work or at home or else it bug me to know that maybe there is a loose end somewhere. I have goals and timelines and those things need to be completed on time.\n\n\nYawn... I am tired now you know why :)

Efficient is being able to get things done quickly. Sufficient means good enough.

probably more than I should since I should be doing my work or studying for school or cleaning my house...

You should be able to do anything you put your mind to, just depends on how ambitious you are and how much effort you are prepared to put into achieving your goals

Yes. By doing this gives the impression that I am actually working.

Well, I give you kudos for at least being honest about the fact that you know how, but you just don't want to have to spend all afternoon doing your homework. But you know what, hon -- that's part of being a student. Some days, most of your day will be filled with getting homework done. Turn on some relaxing music and get going. You'll be fine.

Well I'm self employed so my hours vary a great deal.  Sometimes I can get a lot done in five hours, and other jobs will take me five days.  The only way I can answer this is to say that when I goof off, the only one getting cheated is myself.

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!
