I’m lazy.

I make no excuses. It’s a fact. I’ve been this way for as long as I can remember. Lately I’ve wanted a change. I wanted to stop being lazy.

So I took the logical next step. I took to Google and read as much as I could to learn how to stop laziness.

Through all of that research I’ve come up with the ultimate guide to stop being lazy forever.

Ready?

1. Think about something you want to do.
2. Get up.
3. Go do it.

Sound easy? It’s not.

Being lazy is easy.

Surfing the net reading about ways to not be lazy is easy.

Sitting on your ass not doing shit is easy.

Doing Shit Is Hard

I have been researching anti laziness techniques for years. Books and articles on tops of books and articles all promising the secret to getting shit done.

Know what? All of that reading and researching and wishing and hoping didn’t get shit done.

Know what did?

Doing Shit Gets Shit Done

If you want something to get done you have to do it, 10 out of 10 times.

Read all you want. Reading is good. Reading is part of mastery. But never mistake reading for actually getting shit done.

In order to get shit done you need to STOP reading and actually go do something.

1. Think about something you want to do.
2. Get up.
3. Go do it.

Try It Out

Seriously, try this little experiment if you don’t agree with me.

First, think of something you want to get done. Once you have something I want you to close your eyes and envision getting that thing done. Think about doing it, picture yourself doing it, imagine the sweat rolling down your back as you do it.

Now open your eyes. Is that thing done?

Nope. It’s no closer to being done than it was when you started. Why? Because wishing doesn’t get shit done. Doing shit gets shit done.

Now, I want you to try another experiment. I’m going to change it up this time.

Think of something you want to get done. Close your eyes and envision the thing getting done.

NOW GET UP AND FUCKING DO IT.

Did the thing get done? Why yes, yes it did.

Why? Because you got off your ass and did it.

And that’s the only way to stop being lazy.

Get off your ass and get shit done.
