I have always been quite open and honest about the fact that I am somewhat lazy.
It offended my mother a great deal because she held the belief that industriousness was near to godliness, and the idea of her having a "lazy child" was abhorrent... and it was something she encountered when I was quite young, as I responded to her inquiry as to WHY I couldn't keep my room tidy with "because I'm lazy!"
Of course, there are lots of different ways we can define lazy. If I have to be perfectly objective about it, most people would probably say that I am a fairly hard worker and far from lazy.
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that I lack motivation, unless some horrendous deadline is hovering a few inches from my face.
My assertion of laziness derives more from a sense of always feeling almost obsessed with doing whatever task is ahead of me in the easiest possible way with the least amount of work.
In fact, I will spend a lot of time studying a problem so as to deal with it in whatever way it takes the least amount of energy. Likely, that's neither the best nor the most expedient way to get it done but it is certainly going to be the easiest and more energy saving!
Wanting to do things the easiest way doesn't necessarily mean that I'm looking for slovenly shortcuts nor that I'm prepared to cheat in some way. In fact, I'm strongly opposed to cheating. If you're gonna undertake something at least do yourself and the world the service of dealing with the problem honestly!
Some people might even assert that I am somehow "entitled." In this case, the reference to entitlement would have to do with my desire to definitely have the benefits of something but insisting on putting as little effort as possible into getting those benefits.
On deeper reflection, I'm not sure that my approach exactly constitutes "laziness" so much as simply basic human nature. Why work more than you have to to get something you want?
I guess I just wasn't born with an "Energizer Bunny gene!
And so, this brings me around to my fascination with passive income, which seems like the perfect thing for a "Lazy Cat" to pursue, in this life!
It occurred to me that — all other things being equal — if I manage to reach my goal of getting 1,000 HBD in savings, that would potentially earn me $16.66 a month in passive income, if things stay the same for a while. It's not exactly a fortune, but every little bit counts in this strange world where the cost of everything rises so quickly.
That being the case, I might not even want to cash out my savings balance to buy a new computer... I might just let the balance sit there and continue to earn interest!
Of course, that's all a very long time out into the future... who knows where we will be, in 18 months from now.
