Don’t Be Lazy: You Can Do More
Most people do not do enough. The evidence for this is all the time people waste performing non-important, unurgent tasks such as watching TikTok, doom-scrolling through Twitter, or binge-watching Netflix.
Do not build walls around your time that should not exist. “It’s unhealthy to work on the weekend” or “I deserve to not work on the weekend” can be the difference between your business succeeding and growing or failing.
You have more time than you think. You can do more than you think. This does not mean that you do not enjoy time with your family or in leisure activities. People, however, by and large, are too lazy. People generally do less than they can.
Don’t Be Lazy Because of Your Freedom
Business owners and the self-employed enjoy the freedom to set their own schedules and choose how to spend their time. This may be the single greatest aspect of starting a business or being your own boss.
If you give in to your worst tendencies, however, you will not do enough. You will choose laziness.
Matt, for example, gets up early to complete urgent tasks when no one else is awake. He does this on the weekend as well, which leaves him ready to perform on Monday as the CEO. He does not begin work Monday morning having to catch up on email.
Don’t let freedom lead to laziness. Don’t be lazy, but rather do the work.
