I’ve been working hard lately…

It’s not that I am un-lazy. I am extremely lazy. I really hate doing unnecessary work. I am just very willing to do necessary work. The way I look at it, getting out of unnecessary work later requires that I perform necessary work today, so I’d better get cracking.

What most people term laziness is in fact a cognative defect that might be termed “stupidity”. I am guilty, as I’m sure we all are. The brain just doesn’t always see how working harder now will save you more work (and stress) down the road.

What’s all this talk about 30-day trials? Why not just make up your mind and do it?

Habits form in 21-days according to Dr. Maxwell Maltz.

Steve Pavlina blogs about 30-day trials.

Most people who attempt major lifestyle changes go through several failed attempts before it sticks. However, when you’ve done something for 21 days or longer, it has formed into a fairly strong habit. Until that time, any new routine is much more vulnerable to disruption, and takes a conscious effort to maintain. The only exception is strongly addicting activities which form without much conscious effort at all.
