We're all LAZY

Let's face it. Since the internet became the new everyday necessity, we've all become lazy. We can order groceries online, order carpet online, buy houses online, have jobs online, meet people online, date people online, and the list goes on. Heck, there are so many 'follow along' exercise videos on YouTube that you could even use the internet as a gym. With all these things so readily accessible at our fingertips, why should we get motivated to do much of anything at all?

I do know that there are the weirdos who think going out and partying in real life is cool... but they're old news. They're so obsolete that it makes my Sony Walkman seem new.

I really like to think that we're all lazy. There's enough evidence to back it up. I rarely see people walking on the streets these days which may or may not be a good thing. But consider this: my sister's life consists of going to school, being online at home, and hanging out with friends. My life consists of failing at looking for jobs, being online at home, and being with my boyfriend. My friend's lives consist of long hours at their jobs, being online at home, and possibly hanging out with friends. There's a bit of a pattern to notice and it's not hard to notice either.

So should we blame the ever-amazing internet for our demise? No.

The answer's simple. It's in our nature to be lazy. It's been like that for as long as human history has been recorded. Lazy is the extreme version of making tasks easier. The wheel was invented to make life easier. Push that invention to an extreme and you now have people driving up two blocks to buy a bag of potato chips.

We have no one else to blame except ourselves for the laziness. Granted, I can't speak for everyone, but I have set myself on a personal regimen to 'do hard things'. Inspired by the book with the same title. I'm going to eat healthy, gain a bit of weight so I'm not under (I'm so lazy, I just stop eating at times), and clock how long I'm online so I can evaluate my life schedule. Hopefully, I'll be a less lazy woman in a few weeks. I will be taking baby steps, so expect a good number of updates.
