I don’t believe in genuine laziness, by the way.
I think that we don’t know our motivational profiles. So we don’t use motivation properly.
Like a computer that you don’t have the manual for. We just press random buttons. And more or less get things done.
But I think that the more people learn the specifics of how our motivation really works, the more we can find ways to generate will and intention when and how we want.
There’s this process called SIMA (System for Identifying Motivated Abilities) that I found helpful a couple decades ago. Still use it now sometimes. More recently, I picked up Kelly McGonigal’s book The Willpower Instinct. But I haven’t had time to even read one word of that yet. I can tell from her general description though that it will be helpful in carrying understanding forward some significant steps.
