This is something i started writing last semester, i wrote the second half only today :) !!
Why do i do things at the last minute ?
It is because the work gets done fastest when its done at the last minute. The same work, which otherwise would take 20 mins., takes only 5 mins. At the last minute, the mind becomes suddenly sharp and alert ; a sense of purpose dawns.
Right now I am sitting in my room and watching a movie. I still have not packed for my journey home in the morning. Its only a 5 min job, but I’m not doing it now because otherwise it will take 20 min. Why ? Why will it take a longer time ? There is no sense of purpose, there is a lethargy, a love of being still and doing nothing. Laziness.
The root cause of laziness, according to me, is a love of being still and doing nothing. And that is exactly what is meditation !! So if i really love being still and doing nothing, why not meditate ?
So when i finish my meditation, (if i have meditated 100 %) i'll feel sharp, alert .. with a sense of purpose (no need to wait till the last minute to get that !!)
So now whenever i feel lazy to do something, i know what to do :) !!
Plus not choosing to do something at the last minute gives me the additional advantage of extra time if the work is longer than i anticipated :). So useful for exams na ?
What say ?? Would love to hear your views on this ...
JGD,

Nice post... a pleasant read!
What if the laziness persists though??What if u're disinterest persists?I think sometime when the situation demands U'll have brush it aside with just a single breath! Just try it out! Its much more challenging and efficient and time saving!(I don't mean mediation is a time waste...grasp the essence) There's nothing more energising than the present moment!
wow, thats an interesting concept... :)
I was actually searching for an algorithm to convince myself out of laziness sometimes :P
dadaaan!!!
here I found it!! :)
thank u bhaiyya

i have come to a different conclusion though. We become lazy when we forget why we do things we do, if we remember them and not just recite them in mind laziness vanishes
nice post Vishesh! Will surely try it out. But there's a problem. I become lazy when it comes to meditation! :-D
