Ediacarium@feddit.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How to tell the difference between being burnt out and just being lazy?1·9 days agoI was trying to get you to question the believe that lazyness is an evolutionary trait. Like the post you replied to said: Find the root cause of your lazyness.
Because it’s almost always not an evolutionary trait, it’s avoiding negative emotions. As you said: Doing dishes (bad) -> do nothing (good) But, with boredom, this would result in this: Doing dishes (bad) -> do nothing (good) -> boredom (bad)
Thus, we get negative emotions again. But we can avoid the final negative emotions by lying on the couch and spending energy looking at a screen. And our chain looks like this: Doing dishes (bad) -> looking at screen (good)
Because being bored is hard. If you want to see how hard it is, decide to just stare at a blank wall for the next 30min-1h instead and watch your brain fight this decision as hard as it can.
Thus saying “I’m lazy” and “being lazy is an evolutionary trait” results in “I can’t do anything about me being lazy”. And that is an easy way to avoid having to face and work through those negative emotions.

just try your best, try everything you can
