The Venn-diagram of lazy people and efficient people is not a circle, my friend. There is some overlap, but not entirely overlapping.
The trick is to be lazy enough to seek a better solution but not lazy enough to actually implement it.
So if I implement it I’m just efficient and not lazy?

Oh, this is me
I’m a problem solver, not a planner.
You’ve described my entire IT career.
‘I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.’ - Bill Gates or something
Automate all the tasks!
This requires defining an additional separation between “lazy, but productive” and “lazy but NOT productive”
That also requires defining what you mean by productivity.
Productivity = At least 3 shitposts per day on lemmy shitpost
Depends.
Lazy people who automate their own tasks so they do less work - efficient.
Lazy people who pass off work to other people, causing them to get snowed under no matter how efficient they are - garbage shitsacks.
Conserving resources has always been a survival strategy across every form of life since evolution began. Laziness is a refusal to waste resources on things not perceived to matter or make a difference.
The kicker is that if you start thinking about what “matters” you will soon find nothing actually really does except the things we choose. And it would be a shame to waste life never making any choices.
So here we are, called upon by the universe to come up with things that matter, even though we know that not one bit of any of it will endure. It’s enough to make you sit back down on the couch to think.
If I got things done, maybe. When I have to pay fees because I was too lazy to pay a bill in time, I don’t see how that’s efficient.
Stupid and wrong. Lazy people who can continue to be lazy in a highly monitored, high productivity environment are very efficient. But lazy people can just be unproductive lazy ducks as well.
Humanity advances because of laziness.
The same can be said about math notations.
I am exceedingly efficient then
No, I am a lazy people and I know it is not.
I suppose it depends on just how lazy you mean… Like someone could go to work and accomplish what they’re meant to be doing in the laziest way possible, versus being so lazy that they just call in sick and skip work altogether
Why not both? /s
I’m so efficient I liked this post and moved on. Came back to brag about it, though. ;)
That depends seriously on their monthly expenses.
I used to put far more effort into reasons for not doing work than the work itself would have taken.
Phenomenal, really .
