The Upside to Lazy

“I like the word `indolence.’ it makes my laziness seem classy.” - Bern Williams

I admit it. I’m lazy. I’ll always find the most efficient way to get something done… not because it can be done better or faster that way - but because by being efficient I have to do less to get it completed.

Yes, if necessity is the mother of invention - then laziness is the grandmother. Efficiency is really just intelligent laziness if you think about it. Why do we have washing machines? Because someone was too lazy to stick with using a washboard and a tub where cleaning clothes took hours of manual labor. Why do we have drying machines? So no one had to sit there and manually spend hours hanging up clothes on a line, checking them, and then taking them down.

The same goes for why we have riding lawn mowers, dish washing machines, grocery stores, and cars. It’s all about getting the most done with the least amount of effort.
