    Never really feel lazy - I suspect because I haven't got the time to be so.
    "I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche

    I just indulge it until I get bored...
    I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?

    Discipline.

    .. doesn't always work, because I don't always do what I should do, but I do think, the only way to stop being lazy is by just forcing yourself to do something. For me, that's sit down and study.

    Plan every minute including break times, and if the buses are late, fly into a psychotic rage.

    Be too busy to be lazy. Exercise a lot.
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    Jazziness happens if you lack inspiration. Read something inspirational and you will be stimulated to do something worth doing in life.

    Keeping quiet is a dangerous signal and something and possibly creative things must occupy your minds all the time that offers you vitality.

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.

    I have to agree with Charm here there is only so long I can do nothing before I start to scream. I also know that I have so much to do and I can not stand having anything on my to do list so that helps.

    I consider myself very self-motivated, at times so much that I feel I push myself a bit too much, or so it seems (*shrugs*).
    Occasionally, I will think of a few people who mean the world to me, whether they rely upon me for any such reason, or people entirely indepedent of my doings; nonetheless, they give me a constant infusion of strength and drive.

    I avoid this forum.

    Obviously, that's not working very well.

    You have to find out why you are lazy. Selfishness, self centredness, illness, fear, or bad habits can all cause this.
    If you are ill or are still weak from illness, then you have to start back up slowly.
    If you are self centred, you could volunteer one day a week in a soup kitchen and see how the people struggle, how alone and tired out they are from poverty and that might shake some of the laziness out.
    you could just write down what you wish you could accomplish and then write out a schedule with little things and times and days and work up.
    A good habit takes about six weeks or so, so by just doing it on time and on the days you designate , in about that much time you should have a new set of habits.
    With the world in such desperate straights, I cannot imagine being lazy with so much need that I could at least make a dint in.
