Amazon and Flipkart have given us the opportunity to shop online without even coming out from the comfort of your cozy bed. Shopping used to be a great physical endeavor where we used to pick and choose from the multiple choices we have based on the color and design. Even though all we want is to just buy the whole shop, we picked a few clothes and moved on. But the definition of shopping has changed now. Now online shopping has provided us all these at the tips of our fingers. We can pick and choose different designs and colors just by checking and placing an order and voila! your order is delivered to you. This new online shopping culture has contributed greatly towards making you lazier. So once in a while get out of this online tradition and get along with you buddies and go shopping, eat out and spend some time together, let the moment work its magic.

What can I say, technology? Who has been saved from the wrath of technology? It has made our lives so simple. A cell phone which started as a device to contact your loved ones from far away can now provide you with a wide range of functionalities other than calling. You can listen to music, play games, browse the net, watch movies and the most addicting of all these activities is the social media applications. This right here is a formula to days of laziness just hidden in a small slim attractive looking gadget. So what should you do? Well get a job dude! Invest your time in physical activities and real life. People have even started to lose sleep due to cell phone addiction, and what happens when you sleep late? You wake up late and the full day turns out to be a lazy and boring day. So stop wasting time lying around just facing your cell phone screen and go out and play with your friends.

Another wonderful result of advancement of technology. Especially if it is a laptop then you seem to be more addicted to it. Addiction of your laptop does the same as a cell phone addiction. It gives you insomnia, makes you lazy and certainly a couch potato. The only precaution that you can take from being turned into a lazy person by your laptop is that you stick to only the beneficial activities that your laptop provides you and for the fun part you should leave the sad company of your laptop and go out. Switch off your laptop an hour before your sleep time if you really want to sleep on time and have a good morning the other day. Stop being lazy from today onwards.

There was a time when grocery shopping and vegetable shopping was an activity which was eagerly awaited by us when we were young. We saw it as an opportunity to go out and explore the stores and ofcourse the real reason was only to get chocolates. The scenario has changed a lot today. Our fast life makes us so lazy that when we have time for ourselves we just want to waste it lying around at home and order everything at our doorstep. From food to clothing, from medicine to groceries everything can be ordered and it will be delivered to your doorstep. These home delivery services have spoiled us to such extent that going out has become scarce. Get out of this lazy habit before it takes over you completely. Order only when extremely necessary else cook on your own. Invest more time in productive endeavors such as cooking instead of ordering and that will certainly turn you into a good cook.

Many of us seem to be extremely talented and there are many people who expect us to do great things. Sometimes these expectations turn out to be a huge burden and we are not able to handle them. So we tend to become lazy and scared to work towards our goals. These expectations seem to be like a huge unachievable goal, a mountain so high that we won’t ever reach the top. These uncertain feelings and self-doubt contribute in making us lazy. So the only possible and sensible thing to do is to forget all the load and just work. Work with all your strength and pour your heart into it and you will see that you did great. Everyone will see your hard work and their expectations won’t be a burden anymore.

“Why do you go to gym?”, “Juice? Why do you drink juice? Come not party with us” If your friends are asking you such questions instead of encouraging you or following the good things that you do then you are certainly in a wrong company. People who continuously discourage you by asking infinite questions at your every step tend to make you lazy. How? Well at some point you might get frustrated answering their questions that you might want a way out and the easiest one would be to stop doing anything new. That’s how wrong company will discourage you and make you lazy. So leave such people and go find new friends with a positive outlook and an encouraging demeanor, you are bound to benefit from your choice.
