5 Traits of Lazy People

Below are 5 of the easiest lazy traits to recognize.

Being a full-time mom and manager of a small alpaca farm I make a point of leaving one day a week as a 'lazy day'. Now, to me, a lazy day means I don't do anything beyond what has to be done, farm chores, mommy chores etc. I leave the dishes be, the floor doesn't get vacuumed, the laundry doesn't get done. For one day every thing that does not depend on me for it's health and livelihood gets forgotten. It's a great day to relax, chit chat with friends, take a leisure bath and even read that latest romance novel. So does that mean I take on lazy traits? Absolutely not.

1. Blame game.

The laziest trait of all, is never holding yourself responsible for your actions or the bad luck that happens to you. In life there are only a few true accidents, the rest of the bad luck this world suffers from can be honestly laid onto one or a group of people in any given situation. Most of the time if you would have done something differently, made the right choice instead of the wrong, did the ethical thing, asked for help, not lost your cool, or had showed up on time that thing that happened would not have. You show up to work 15 minutes late and the boss yells at you. Do you blame the traffic for being backed up, the wife for not having breakfast on the table, your dry cleaner for loosing your shirt? Or do you take responsibility and next time make a point of leaving early because you know traffic will be backed up, you get up a little earlier and help your wife make breakfast and you make sure to have a back up shirt for when the dry cleaner goofs.

Lazy people will always point the blame elsewhere. Non-lazy people will look at themselves first and ask "What could I have done differently?"

2. Addictions
