A Remedy for Lazy Fixation

A typical pattern among many people, especially in Gen Z, is the habit and state of being attached and distracted by technology, like your devices scrolling endlessly into the long abyss of feeds popping, which leads you to forget what you're doing unexpectedly. Like in school, many students do extracurriculars after school, revolving around a busy schedule or being exhausted after a long school day. The solution to fixing laziness is to be able to look into different methods depending on your style and how you like to go about being more productive. Everything that happens from the beginning of the day can be connected to why laziness reoccurs at random times or is sometimes persistent based on daily activities. Many reactions can be feeling frustrated and discontent with the results of your laziness. 

The best method to deal with laziness is to be able to acknowledge you have this problem, or it may continue throughout the day. For example, being reminded by someone while ignoring it is a sign-off of trouble. Foreshadow or predict what you will accomplish by experimenting with choices, like trying to form an organizer. Think of it as a mind update and coordinate your schedule depending on what's happening every day. The choices formed are available that work for your daily rotation. Experience and patience will come with having the right mind and focus on getting out of that bad habit. You need to be capable of reflecting on your past habits and setting aside a renewal. Losing energy means overcoming a great challenge by dedicating your time to taking small, meticulous steps that may be expanding. The important thing is not to get discouraged by this habit and try to be more hopeful that progress can be made. 

Be persistent in involving yourself and find value or purpose for setting manageable goals. Setting boundaries is essential, usually by forcing yourself to exercise your brain since it is the central system of our daily basis and the predecessor that controls all aspects of our decisions and what we do. Usually, we can easily be influenced by a distraction in our surroundings. The right environment matters, like being more responsive and aligning your schedule with your activities, since it focuses on mental health and your movement of energy. Limiting how much relaxation time is spent due to being an inactive contributor and having boundaries around bad influences around us.
