Om Swami
How do I push myself to start work when laziness makes me not want to do it?
Promise yourself just five minutes
When laziness stops you from acting, tell yourself you will work just five minutes. Once you sit down, the mind sits on its own, even for fifty minutes. If you put it off to tomorrow, that tomorrow never comes.
Whenever you don't feel like doing some task because of laziness, just think: I will do it for five minutes. Once you sit down to do it, the mind will on its own stay for fifty minutes too.
