Who said being lazy was a bad thing? Honestly, I think it's a skill -- a skill few people possess. Bill Gates even said, "I choose a lazy person to do a hard job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it." Being lazy isn't a weakness; it's a strength everyone should possess. You, too, can identify as lazy if you fully (or somewhat) commit to these things.
1. Having to jump over piles of clothes, book, trash and other random junk to get to the bathroom. Who needs to put things away when it’s just as easy to pick them up off the floor as you need them?
2. Falling out of bed because you were trying to reach something. I don’t care if my bed is five feet off the ground one day my arms will stretch to the floor.
3. Having cereal for dinner because you can’t walk two feet to the microwave. Pull off plastic, add water, microwave and pour in cheese. Cereal sounds pretty good after all that work.
4. Getting dressed in what you plan on wearing the next day before bed. Yoga at 9 a.m.? Yeah, I’ll wear my clothes to bed so I can get up at 8:50 a.m.
5. Watching Netflix on your phone after your laptop dies. If I try to reach my laptop charger, I’ll fall off my bed again, so my phone will have to do.
6. Wearing a hat so you don’t have to wash your hair. The task of washing your hair isn’t difficult, but drying it takes too long. A hat gives me enough time to give myself a pep talk into taking on the hair dryer.
7. Drinking out of your Nalgene through a straw. My Nalgene has a perfect little spot between my arm and torso, if I use a straw I don’t need to move my head when I’m thirsty.
8. Brushing your teeth in the shower. OK, admit you’ve done it. If you brush your teeth in the shower, you can spend those extra two minutes laying in bed.
9. Waiting until you’re about to explode to go to the bathroom. Why go to the bathroom every time I have to go when I just got comfortable? I can wait an hour and then run there; it takes less time that way.
10. Wearing socks with your Birkenstocks. You are too lazy to put on sneakers but too lazy to take off your socks.
11. Spraying dirty clothes with Febreeze. No, I don’t have time to do laundry, or even want to do laundry, but my Febreeze smells good. So, voilà! Clean clothes!
12. Looking up workouts on Pinterest, but never actually doing them. Heck yes, another 30-day-abs challenge! Maybe I’ll do this one…
13. Waiting 15 seconds for the next Netflix episode to play. Why do the extra work when Netflix will do it for you?
Be lazy and be proud, my friends.
