Is it OK to Be Lazy and Not Want to Do Anything? Only Do the Minimum?

[wall st kid]

I love your life, you made some smart choices, women and kids are expensive. My mantra in life is this. I try and only do things i want to do and i work as hard as possible to avoid doing anything that i don't want to do. If you can pull it off and avoid doing things that you dont feel like doing, i commend you and yea, its perfectly fine to be lazy and do what you want to do, many wish they had a life like that.

It is more emotionally and psychologically healthy than being a Workaholic.

Here is my five-step plan if a task rears is ugly head:

1. Analyze whether it really needs to be done at all.
2. See if there is a workaholic around who will enthusiastically do it.
3. Sit down and consider the most efficient steps involved in completing the task with minimum effort.
4. Get started and get it over with as quickly as possible.
5. Resume leisurely comfort or trying to look busy, according to the dictates of the workplace environment.

Remember, if hard work were such a wonderful thing, the rich would keep it all for themselves.

Some interesting expectations here for what people should do or not do with their time.

If I we're in the OP's position I would enjoy it while it lasts. It is hard to find a balance between obligations and freedom to do as one pleases. It doesn't have much to do with laziness from what I am hearing.
