Day 130: On Working on Lazines s

If  you  are  smart,  but  not  lazy,  work  on  laziness.  To  do  everything,

simply  because  you  can,  lowers  effectiveness.  Concentrate  on  the  really

important  things  that  get  amazing  results.  Do  only  the  few  things  with

greatest benefit.

—Richard Koch

As  contradictory  as  it  sounds,  some  self-disciplined  people  need  to

work  on  laziness  to  get  to  the  next  level  of  personal  growth.  Just  like  it

takes discipline to work on the hard things, it also takes discipline to resist

the temptation to work on unnecessary things.

For  example,  as  a  self-published  author  there  are  countless  ways  for

me to promote my books. I dabbled into different marketing methods, but in

the end had to limit my focus to only the few things that offered the greatest

benefit.  Doing  everything  would  have  perhaps  portrayed  me  as  a  more

hard-working  author,  but  it  wouldn’t  increase  my  effectiveness,  and  most

likely would only reduce it.

Restlessness can be a good thing to inspire a person to take action, but

if  it  leads  to  mindless  work  for  the  sake  of  work,  you’re  wasting  your

potential and resources you could have spent on another area of life where

increased effort would have led to noticeable improvements.

Periodically assess tasks you perform most frequently and ask yourself

if  you’re  not  only  exerting  willpower  to  keep  working,  but  also  showing

restraint when it comes to performing tasks that add little or nothing to your

life.  Crossing  off  unnecessary  tasks  from  your  to-do  list  might  feel  good,

but  it’s  just  another  form  of  instant  gratification  that  ultimately

compromises your long-term objectives.
