NINE JAPANESE TECHNIQUES TO OVERCOME LAZINESS



One way to define laziness is as the inability to act or perform, as one would expect because of conscious, controllable factors, specifically a lack of personal effort.

There are numerous possible causes for Laziness, including:

  • You put off doing things until it is too late because you do not know what needs to be done.
  • Negative thinking has left your priorities completely disorganized. 
  • Feeling overburdened, tense, and anxious about everything you have to do.
  • An inability to find motivation causes one to feel hopeless and unmotivated about the tasks.
  • Feel as though it would be better to do nothing at all since you have no idea where to begin or how to proceed.

Side effects of Laziness?

  • If left unchecked, laziness can develop into a very dangerous habit.
  • It is important to avoid falling into the trap of laziness, as it can take over your life and leave nothing but chaos in its wake.
  • Make sure you are always on top of things rather than allowing them to overwhelm you to avoid this happening to you.

Nine Japanese Techniques to overcome Laziness:

1.      Ikigai:

  • Discover your purpose in your life. Chose something that aligns with your strength, passion, and the needs of the world, this is what gives life meaning.

From Classroom to Corporate: The Quotients That Shape a Successful Life

From Classroom to Corporate: The Quotients That Shape a Successful Life Today’s world demands more than just intelligence to succeed. Scoring high in academics is no longer enough to thrive in career, relationships, and life.  A truly successful individual is a combination of multiple abilities, emotional strength, creativity, social skills, physical fitness, happiness, adaptability, and more. To simplify this idea, I framed a personality formula: P = f { IQ, PQ, EQ, SQ, SpQ, TQ, CQ, AQ, AQQ, HQ, LQ, FQ, DQ } (Personality is a function of many quotients working together.) Let us explore each quotient, what it means, how young people can build it, and why it is important. IQ – Intelligence Quotient It is all about thinking smart, problem solving, logical ability. It helps in analyzing problems, understanding tasks quickly, learning new concepts fast, and making logical decisions. To improve IQ practice reading, problem-solving, puzzles, observing patterns. PQ – Physical Quoti...

Teaching Is a Senseful Activity, but We Made It NON SENSE - From HEI view point I recently read Prof. Krishna Kumar’s column “The Teacher Is Walking Away,” and it felt more like a cry for help than just an article. He highlighted how teachers in CBSE schools are leaving classrooms due to excessive workloads and bureaucratic pressures that overshadow their true role as mentors and guides.  As I reflected on his words, I realized that a similar scenario exists in higher education institutions offering professional courses like engineering, medicine, and management. This insight inspired me to explore the various factors causing faculty in HEIs to step away from teaching.  To make these factors easier to understand and remember, I framed them under the acronym  NON SENSE . Teachers are not walking away because they have lost passion. They are walking away because the system has turned teaching into NON SENSE , quite literally. Let’s decode what’s behind this NON SENS...

Welcome to the age of “Showcase Dolls.”

  Show Case Dolls In today’s society, many parents are driven by an intense curiosity or rather anxiety to see their children “settled” in a high-paying job that promises lifelong money, social image, and security for their own retired life. A child is no longer just a child; he or she becomes a future investment plan, a walking résumé, and a brand ambassador for the family. Because of this fear and ambition, parents react to every trend in the job market. Yesterday it was engineering, today it is AI, data science, blockchain, and tomorrow it will be something else. They rush to coaching centers, skill academies, and foreign education agents. Sending children abroad is seen as a status symbol not always as a life choice. The image grows, but the connection shrinks. In this race, parents unknowingly miss a beautiful life the joy of growing with their children. Instead of shared meals, stories, and laughter, there are schedules, targets, and comparison charts. Children slowly turn...
