3. Lack of Purpose or Meaning
Ever procrastinate on something that just feels pointless? It’s because your brain craves meaning. When we don’t see the point in what we’re doing, it’s hard to stay motivated.
This is especially common in work or school when you’re doing something that feels monotonous or unimportant.
Solution: Find your “why.” Ask yourself how this task connects with your personal values or goals. When you tie purpose to your actions, laziness will fade away.
4. Multitasking = Mental Exhaustion
Multitasking might sound like a superpower, but it’s actually productivity’s enemy. Studies show our brains are simply not designed to juggle multiple tasks at once. Trying to do too many things simultaneously leads to mental exhaustion and makes you feel even lazier.
