Laziness is Next to Nothingness

Our world has made it so easy to become lazy. Everything can pretty much be done for us at the touch of a button. We could sit in our houses and do everything from shopping to communicating with family and friends and never come in real contact with an actual person. This way of living can be very unhealthy. The computer world can be a wonderful thing, but it shouldn't be the only way of life. There are so many things that need to be done without ever opening your laptop. Start your day by waking up early in the morning whether you have something scheduled to do for the day or not. Take care of things that need to be done at home. If you live with your parents and you already have a "things to do' list, then make sure that is taking care of. If you are in college or live alone, then do whatever you need to do to get your space neat and orderly. Give yourself plenty of time to take care of your personal hygiene. If you take care of this first thing in the morning, you are always ready when last minute activities pop up. If you have something scheduled for the day whether it is school, work or an appointment, make sure you know where you are going and give yourself time to get there without feeling rushed (this prevents road rage). If you don't have something already planned and have the ability to make plans, then make sure they are constructive plans whenever possible. These activities could include going to the library, starting an exercise regiment, job hunting, etc. There is nothing wrong with planning time to be with friends, but "fun" time certainly should not be the majority of your day. If you have planned your day accordingly, you will be tired enough to go to bed at a decent hour at night and won't feel sluggish to start your next day. Life is not boring when you fill it full of constructive things to do and not get caught up in laying around the house all day.
