Here's something that might shock you. Many incredibly, highly productive people are considered lazy by their friends and family. Well, how could that be this person's writing best selling books? This person has a wildly successful consulting firm or computer company. How could anyone consider them lazy? It's because many productive people and successful people have realized.
If they shorten their workday and work as little as say six hours a day, they can get more done than if they work 70 hours a week. So they're much more productive. That's half of the equation. So people see them leaving the office or at home or doing recreational activities at three in the afternoon. It makes people think they're lazy. The other half of the equation is highly productive.
People don't do things that they don't want to do. They hire other people to do it. If you're highly productive. You can make more money doing what you're doing, then it would take to hire someone else to do the task you don't want to do. That's why highly productive people typically hire someone else to cut their grass to clean their clothes to cook their food, they hire people on TaskRabbit they might not hire a stretch limousine, but they'll at least get an Uber X to take them somewhere because they don't want to drive. So be aware of focusing on what you want to do being productive what you want to do and then hire other people to do the task you don't want to do in life if you're doing something well productively, and it pays you 10 times as much as what it costs to have someone cook you a hamburger.
Well then hire someone to cook you a hamburger don't now spend two hours go into the grocery store, getting all the ingredients, cooking it cleaning and last That's your hobby. But that's why productive people so often have so much more time than other people. And it's time they can use thinking more thoughts for new companies, new products, new books, it's time they can spend relaxing, enjoying doing things with friends, painting, taking part in other hobbies is because they've eliminated so much clutter in their life. So many people spend every waking moment commuting to a boring job. They don't like doing a job that doesn't fulfill them where they don't feel productive, a long commute home. And then every second of their free time is then doing tasks.
They don't enjoy home maintenance, Home Repair, cooking and cleaning. That doesn't have to be your life. The most productive people in the world are not conducting their lives that way. So question what you do and real If other people are calling you lazy, maybe it's because you're lazy and you never help out and you should but maybe it's because you're leading a life that's much more productive and efficient than other people.
