    The Venn-diagram of lazy people and efficient people is not a circle, my friend. There is some overlap, but not entirely overlapping.

    If I got things done, maybe. When I have to pay fees because I was too lazy to pay a bill in time, I don’t see how that’s efficient.

          I’ve trained myself to do important stuff like paying bills as soon as the task comes up because otherwise I would do the same.

          “Oh I can do that later.”

          Later

          “What was I supposed to do? Eh probably wasn’t important.”

          Really sucks when a thing comes up and I really can’t do it right away because I’m in the middle of something else, or am away from where I need to do it. 😮‍💨

    Depends.

    Lazy people who automate their own tasks so they do less work - efficient.

    Lazy people who pass off work to other people, causing them to get snowed under no matter how efficient they are - garbage shitsacks.

    Except for the lazy ones.

    Thats like saying kevin is 300 lbs because he is efficient, not lazy.

    One of my first bosses noticed me doing a job in a particular laborish way when there were power tools available that would make it much easier. I remember him taking me aside and suggesting that it is better to use all the tools available if it makes the work easier. Better for me and better for him.

    I have since become the boss and I often repeat similar advice to employees. I tell them I appreciate when they are working hard but I even appreciate it more when they work smarter but less hard. If there is a hole to dig, don’t grab a shovel when there is an excavator nearby. I am more impressed by the work you get done and even more so if you do it with minimal labor.

    This requires defining an additional separation between “lazy, but productive” and “lazy but NOT productive”
