Learn how to stop being lazy and you'll be amazed at how much you can accomplish. The things you didn't think you could ever do... are now like clockwork for you.

Read on to learn how to stop being lazy.

Step 1: Maximize Your Time.

Sometimes, you may not realize just how many hours in a day you waste doing nothing. Why don't you try this quick exercise?

Get a piece of paper and record everything you do for one whole day. Make sure you put in the exact time schedule. If you woke up at 8 in the morning, write that down. If you spent 8 to 9 getting ready and eating breakfast, write that down. And if you happen to do nothing in the next few hours, well, you'll have to write that down as well.

At the end of the day, see how many hours you have spent doing something productive and how many hours you have left blank. Multiply those wasted hours into seven, 31 and 365 to find out how many hours you are wasting in a week, a month and a year respectively.

Looking at the figures will open your eyes to how much time you are being lazy, and can pave the way for the beginning of your transformation!

Step 2: Set Significant Goals.

Goal setting is very important when it comes to learning how to stop being lazy. When you start setting goals that are important to you, you become more conscious of your actions. Everything you do from this point on can make or break your dream.

If your goal is to get promoted within the year, playing hooky from work now becomes an absolute no-no. When once you would not think twice about leaving the office early, now you analyze how your laziness can affect your standing at work.

Step 3: Make It A Habit.

If you want to know how to stop being lazy, you've got to work on your habits. Ditch those practices that encourage laziness.

Putting your work off until the next day is one of those bad habits. When faced with a situation where you are given a choice to slack off or get a head start, you can either choose to do what you usually do or you can break your habits.

If you're serious about changing for the better, you need to create new habits - positive ones that push you to work well.

In life, you will constantly find yourself at similar crossroads. The decision to stop being lazy will always be tested. Ultimately, how far you will go rests in your hands.
