Winning With Procrastination and Laziness

All things considered maybe we need to consider winning with procrastination and laziness. That is to say we’re over tasked and under appreciated. Details in Winning-With-Procrastinaton-And-Laziness-Bob Davis Podcast 1142.

Feeling Overwhelmed

Furthermore I am seeing plenty of posts from disaffected workers about how overwhelmed we feel.

Natural Man

Therefore in this podcast I first consider Natural Man or Ancient Man.

Chiefly the original hunter-gatherers in the mists of time.

For example the Celts…

Or the Plains Indian.

Clocks

In fact primitive clocks only go back to around 3500 BC. (By the way I announced the source for this statement as a ‘blogger’ named Jack Mason. In fact it is brand name for a watch!)

The Sun Moon And Stars

Balanced against our minute by minute and second by second world primitive man told time with the sun, the moon and the stars.

Technology

Of course the clock was a major technological improvement.

Teamwork

Even more I won’t go so far as to suggest that human beings are ever going to get anything done if they can work as a team to complete tasks.

However life today is getting a little ridiculous.

Time To Ourselves

To put it another way even at the dawn of the industrial age on through the 1980’s people had time to themselves.

Allow The Mind To Wander

Comparatively they had more time to allow their minds to wander.

Consequently while they were riding the train or bus…

Or driving to and from work…

Problem Solve

Their minds could rest and ‘problem solve’.

No Time For That Now

With this in mind the most compelling evidence for the use of procrastination and laziness as a tool for success is the fact that we have almost no time to do this these days.

Demand The Time

Hence we have to demand or take the time to be lazy and to put things off.

Laziness and Procrastination Are No Longer Negatives

With this in kind Winning-With-Procrastinaton-And-Laziness-Bob Davis Podcast 1142 is all about why procrastination and laziness are no longer negatives.

Recognizing The Need For Organization

So firstly while recognizing the need for organization and goal setting in business, family and corporate life…

What We Think We Have To Do

It’s also secondly realizing most of what we think we have to do isn’t really necessary.

Summer By The Lake

Finally the more I sit by the lake this summer…and to simplify.

Nightly Campfire

And mediate on the nightly campfire…

Happier

The more I think giving ourselves permission to win with procrastination and laziness the happier we will be!

Let Our Minds Work In The Background

In the final analysis I think a lot of the work of life takes place when we allow our minds to wander and attack a problem subconsciously.

Controlled By Modern Devices And Nonsense

Having said that often the problem is our devices and so called demands of life won’t allow our minds to work.

Given these points I understand why people demand remote work options and enjoy it so much.

In essence it’s time to realize if you put something off so you can be lazy…

You’re not a bum.

In fact you might be the smartest person in the room.

Dramatic Distractions. Had a conversation with a friend awhile back and he said, “All these people and they’re shows. They’re asleep”. Didn’t think too much about it for almost a year, and today it popped into my head. To say that I love my shows is an understatement. So for this podcast I made a partial list of some of the series shows I have watched, or am watching on Netflix, iTunes, Hulu. It was a bit of a surprise. I didn’t even make a complete list and it’s way too long! Someone will hear this and think, “This guy does nothing but watch TV Shows”. Well. Uh. No. At least I didn’t think so until I actually made a list. Then I thought, am I that unusual? A lot of us watch these shows. Add to that screen time on FB, Instagram, Twitter and especially You Tube and you have the makings of a real distraction. And this AFTER I’ve scanned and read a huge portion of the news. I talk a lot about how people are watching the political news shows, and listening to talk radio and political podcasts as entertainment. Seldom do I talk about the escapism inherent in watching hour after hour of television drama, which. Is. So. Satisfying. The Walking Dead and the new Don’t Fear the Walking Dead. Ray Donovan. The Affair, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, The Wire, The Sopranos, Sons Of Anarchy, Justified, House of Cards. Mister White isn’t a meth dealer, he’s a TV drama producer in Hollywood! Do this shows influence our thinking about society? Or, are they just a guilty pleasure. By the way, who has time to read East of Eden, or In Cold Blood when these shows are being pumped out. It may be time for a news cleanse, as well as a drama cleanse. Then we get to a discussion of the delights available on You Tube. Endless Illuminati Conspiracy videos, horribly done but immensely entertaining horoscopes and tarot card readers. Finally, FaceBook has become nothing but posts and shares of dogs that can’t catch videos, cute kid videos, mom’s doing yoga videos, Bernie Sanders Memes, Ted Cruz Meme’s, and other nonsense. Who has time to work? Yeah, maybe it’s time we looked at this. Sponsored by Brush Studio In The West End, Saint Louis Park and by Hydrus Performance.
