When we look at the state of the world, it is easy to feel like everyone has become so lazy. We watch shows where people can't seem to get off their couch and move around, wondering why they can't do what we're doing. While this makes us feel even greater about ourselves, a step back into reality will show that not too many people are motivated to exercise and lose weight.

Currently, the average person in the United States weighs 196 pounds; if we were all super heroes that would be terrible news for stopping crime! While it is easy to assume they are lazy about maintaining their health, many people are actually lacking motivation.

Here are five tips to help anyone who feels too lazy.

1. Stop Leaving Your Bed Without Having Anything Accomplished

If you are like most teenagers, your days can be rather unproductive. You may get out of bed and immediately start doing whatever it is that you feel like doing instead of having a goal in mind. Every day (if not every morning), write down the three things that you want to accomplish by the end of that day. Making a "to-do list" may seem pointless, but it helps you see what you get done throughout the day so that you can do more tomorrow . This is not only good for productivity, but also for avoiding procrastination .

2. Put Your Necessities in Reach

Sitting on your bed to play video games or watch Netflix is far less productive than sitting at a desk, especially if you have to get up multiple times just to grab something that you need. If you are being lazy, it probably means that the activity itself isn't necessary . Instead of playing video games without any purpose , find other things to do that can be productive. For example, you can put your school supplies right next to you so that doing homework is one less reason for getting out of bed. Spending less time moving around will reduce the chances of distraction and increase productivity.

3. Do Not Wait Until the Last Minute to Start a Task

Instead of putting off a task until later, learn to do it as soon as possible . This way, you will not only have more time throughout the day for relaxing, but also it will help you avoid stress from having an important assignment due on the day after tomorrow .

4. Figure Out What is Luring You to Be Lazy and Then Stop Doing That

If you are being lazy, it probably means that there is something else that you would rather be doing instead of what needs to be done. Maybe you want to play video games because they are fun ? If you find out the root of your laziness, you will be able to make a change and do the necessary task. For example, you could play video games for an allotted amount of time (such as one hour), and once that time is up, stop playing . Then, do something else productive.

5. Deliberately Do What You Have To Instead of Procrastinating

If a task is important, make a conscious effort to do it as soon as possible instead of putting it off until later . Of course, this does not mean that you should spend hours upon hours on one task; it simply means that you should not wait until the last minute to get started.

If you follow these tips, you will eventually see a change in your habits . They are not only good for productivity, but also good for avoiding procrastination and stress. Furthermore, they will help you enjoy life more and become a happier and more productive person!
