Being Lazy

I've always struggled with being a little lazy. When I was a kid my room was always a mess as I could never be bothered to tidy up after myself, I don't know if this is really a lazy trait or just that some people are messy and others aren't. I've always been a messy person in my own personal spaces, but any place that I've worked, I've always been quite tidy.
I do try and make sure I tidy up after myself at work as I can't stand it when someone else makes a mess and doesn't tidy up after themselves for some reason. I'm happy to leave mess on my desk at home, but I don't like it when my wife leaves a tea bag in the sink in the kitchen. I know she'll tidy it up after she's had her cuppa and that the stuff on my desk has been there for weeks but something about someone else leaving a mess annoys me. I think my wife is the same as she will happily leave something on the dresser for weeks but doesn't like it when I leave stuff on my desk, it's funny.
I don't always like to take the easy way and that may be part of my being lazy. If something needs doing, I usually want to do it properly and often that takes more time and can be harder which is why I put it off. Maybe it's not so much about being lazy, maybe I procrastinate too much and then it's too late in the day to get started so I give it a miss and say that I'll try again another day.
I do like to think about some things for a long time before I actually commit to doing them, it's almost like I have to be able to fully complete the task in my head without having to stop to work out what I have to do next before I can actually do the task. I guess I make lists in my head.
The other part of being lazy has always been towards exercise. I know I should do more but I never actually manage to do it, I either forget or decide that maybe tomorrow will be a better day.
I'm committed to going walking again once we've moved house. I'll miss walking along the river but I'm sure that I'll find some good footpaths around the new area. They are building some ponds and fountains that will be nice to see, even just going exploring through some of the new streets as they get built will be quite interesting.
Beating my laziness is something that I aim to do this year, I want to achieve more and do more with our weekends. I don't want any more excuses as to why I didn't get out and take photos or go motocamping or anything. I just have to push myself to do more, I'm sure I'll be happier if I do.

Holidays are for relaxing, not being lazy, there is a difference.
