DEFINING LAZINESS AND SUCCESS
––––––––
Laziness is a term often used to describe a lack of motivation or effort in performing tasks, particularly those that require physical or mental exertion. It is characterized by a preference for comfort, leisure, or idleness over productive or purposeful activity.
