Tom decides not to study for his upcoming exams because he’d rather play Call Of Duty on his Xbox. Eventually that 1 decision becomes his everyday routine, and by time his exams come up, well, he’s unprepared, doubtful, and bound to fail.
Bob, on the other hand makes an effort to just get his studies done instead of slacking off and making excuses. Overtime this becomes routine for him, and by time his exams come around, he’s fully prepared, confident, and assured he’ll pass.
In other words, yes, laziness is a habit.
And not just for the “most part”, it’s 100% a habit. Just like brushing your teeth in the morning, having a shower, eating, checking your Facebook account, or procrastination. It’s all a habit.
To change the habit, you simply stop making bullshit excuses and just take action instead of sweet-talking yourself out of the thing you KNOW you SHOULD be doing. Do that enough times and the habit will be replaced.
Easy? No. Worth it? Damn right….
