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.

Finding-Happiness-In-Nomad-Life-Bob Davis Podcast 1003

Finding Happiness In Nomad Life

Firstly can you find happiness in nomad life? Learn more about my experience in Finding-Happiness-In-Nomad-Life-Bob Davis Podcast 1003.

Big Subject

Secondly it’s a big subject for one podcast. Find more podcasts about nomad life here.

However I’ll give it a shot on a barefoot around the woods and lake.

Survival

Life used to be all about survival.

Happiness As A Life Purpose

Certainly happiness as a life purpose is a relatively new thing.

Because these days our basic survival needs are easier to address.

But survival is still the primary purpose of life in some places.

Time To Think

Finally here at the Wisconsin Base Camp there’s time to think about these ideas.

Find out my conclusions by listening to Finding-Happiness-In-Nomad-Life-Bob Davis Podcast 1003.

New Questions About Nomad Life

In addition I still get fun questions about nomad life.

For instance how long am I going to keep doing this.

And what are the negatives of nomad life.

I couldn’t really think of any.

To clarify I would say questions of time and resources play a role.

In addition how fast I need to move around the country to address a business concern.

Opportunities Not Negatives

On the other hand I take “negatives” as opportunities.

Life Lessons

There’s a life lesson there.

How do you measure happiness?

Higher Vibration

In the same vein there’s something about being unbound and unburdened that seems to promote a higher vibration.

In short these days thousands of people are refusing to return to offices.

Hitting The Road

Even more many are hitting the road.

They are chucking their old life for the promise of something new.

And we now have the tools to do it!

To sum up that’s what nomad life is all about.

Something Going On

Likewise there’s something going on with this nomad ‘thing’.

Americans are definitely more motivated to take control of their lives in a way I have not seen before.

Taking Back Our Power

Moreover we don’t have to be a nomad to take back our power.

For many it’s making the decision to continue to work from home.

Or a pretty rad cabin in the woods.

Meaning and Happiness

In short the search for happiness and meaning in life is intensifying.

Back Roads

In conclusion I find meaning on the back roads and it’s pretty great.

Media Fatigue. A voice mail from a friend sets a podcast about media in motion. ‘The Media’ occupies a big space in our society these days. Especially television. Especially the cable news networks. With people of a certain political persuasion, especially Fox News. At a recent political meeting, people were asked to raise their hands to answer three questions; How many attended a recent Basic Political Unit meeting (about ten), how many are precinct captains (about three), how many watch Fox News (everyone). Yes people are tired, frustrated, burned out, angry and confused, but they keep watching, and watching, and watching! Media is taking time away from citizen action to actually change things. What IS ‘The Media’? What effect does it have on society and individuals? Modern media has taken the space occupied by the fireside, by ceremony, by the shaman and priest. We think we are modern, but human nature hasn’t changed much. For all the things media does (entertain and inform), its primary purpose is to persuade. Print, radio, television and digital have different origins and textures, and are used for different reasons. Americans think they’re being informed but they’re being bombarded with emotional appeals, especially during elections. Reason and intellect are not in the media’s lexicon. We are ill served by poor reporting, story lines to keep people viewing and listening, and of course bias. There is nowhere to escape this constant stream of emotional persuasion, as long as you keep watching, hoping it will change. Are there times when television reaches high points? Absolutely. Does it happen very often. No. People have to learn to develop a strategy for what they watch, how they watch, and what they use the media for. (Editor’s Note: I counted 16 different things we can do and I list them in this podcast). People are constantly saying, ‘The mainstream media is biased, it has to change’. Why wait for the leopard to change its spots? Learn to use tools to watch, listen and read what you want, when you want it, how you want it. As things stand right now, media is making us more ignorant everyday. Expecting to BE informed from the mainstream cable news, talk radio and broadcast television, is a lost cause.
