I was called too lazy as a kid so much that it figures largely in my debilitating disability. Then in the 90s studying psychology I developed a hypothesis there was no such thing as laziness (or the sin sloth as its recognized by post-Calvanist Protestantism) rather all instances of avolition could be traced to dysfunction, poor health or misunderstanding the degree of fatigue caused by the necessary work.

By the 2010s the psychology sector came to the same conclusion, that productivity could be improved by creating a healthy environment for work that allowed people to do human things between tasks (take bathroom breaks, check social media, eat snacks, etc.) Or can be decreased by making the work environment toxic (crunching, harassment, stale offerings in the vending machine, pressure to not take relief breaks, etc.)

The epidemic lockdown of 2020 and mass furlogh actually vindicated these hypotheses (though I haven’t read the studies) when people turned to hobbies with fervent obsession, often enough yielding marketable results, resulting in the great resignation.

I’m greedy, just haven’t gotten around to it yet
