They say that laziness drives progress. But you shouldn't take these words literally. You can look at the problem from the other side: how many discoveries could have been made if not for this very laziness?

There is no cure for laziness, but modern scientists have found a way to overcome it.

Experts have revealed a technique that will help you overcome your own laziness.

First, start easy.

When it comes to performing complex work, the brain scares, trying to delay the onset of actions that are incomprehensible to it.

Therefore, the first action in the fight against laziness should not last more than 20 seconds.

Secondly, habit

To trick your brain, which is not set up to start doing something incomprehensible and difficult, start imagining what you have to do.

This method is scientifically called visualization.

Thirdly, willpower

Without it, fighting laziness is pointless. Meditation or sports will help.

And the last important circumstance is hormones.

Trick your brain with dopamine, endorphin, serotonin and oxytocin.

Hormones will become an additional incentive to get off the couch and start doing at least something.

If you do these exercises every day for 30 minutes, laziness will be defeated.
