Agree. And it's taking time to simply appreciate life.

Lazy is indeed a wrong term, but the question is why do some people still use it, when they’re all worked up and such, on other people, who don’t do anything at all?

It's about taking time to rest in between. Some people over commit to too many activities like this lady in the report. At home, we can do laundry and cook at the same time. I like watching documentary on my tablet while cooking. That's multi tasking in a relaxing way

Ha! Exactly the comment I was just gonna make. For productive folks, it's simply called "resting", or "relaxing", "decompressing", etc. For non-productive folks, well, that's just lazy.

I agree. It sounds like this woman did not rest. Rest is good. Laziness is not.

My Aunt always said if I died tomorrow, killing myself for a company, I would be replaced.

I often say the same thing to my friends who pride themselves on always being available for any job task, any time. It's not your grandma's company, put yourself first.

I try not to “remember “!

EXACTLY .,......so many people don't realize that you are just a cog in the wheel. Some people are highly-paid employees but at the end of the day they are still cogs in the wheel.

Woah, just reading that hit hard and made me just realize how true!!!

Amen!!! The dahli lama says we work so hard to make money then we have to spend the rest of our lives trying to fix our compromised health.

Amen to that!

Adding to this, we should be productive in regards to our OWN lives. Hobbies, research, and experiences are what make us human. To put it bluntly, the demands of American work culture make it nearly IMPOSSIBLE to live a full life.

Best comment on here 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼

Basically, they didn’t wanna hang out.

Those kind of ppl make me sick

Sometimes it's about survival. I'm about to start a new job, so much new information to learn, rearranging my schedule, so it's crazy busy. But if someone has been working on the same job, it's different, unless there's merger, reorganization within the Company

Yes, science has shown over and over again that we can't "multitask." The term "multitask" has been bastardized from its origin. The term "multitask" originated at Japanese factories in the 50s and 60s. It referred to training factory workers to cover the processes just before and just after the process they were responsible for performing. With this training, they could prevent or ease backups on the line. It was never intended to justify forcing workers to do three jobs at once.

They need the money. Simple.

Wonderful. I think it's important to have time to do whatever you want, whenever you want. Including nothing.

DITTO....!!!

Me too!

@@Lauren_1987 Exactly! I'm loving retirement!

Same.

Good for you 😍

So happy you are enjoying your retirement and realized it now!

stop being entitled to think you know a random person when you dont! just because you are lazy does not mean everyone else is like you, just stop, you are truly offensive. there are people who are active and energetic, just because you love being lazy does not mean everyone else loves it like you. there are people who love being active and dont have a problem with it, you just think people do but dont know what's best for others, stop being entitled to think you know a random person thats not in your life.

@@tiffr5016- are u ok?

@@tiffr5016I hope you’re ok

Right! With this economy, I NEED to work my minimum 40 hours a week (and not an hour short) to be able to afford paying bills! I would love time for myself, but LITERALLY can't afford to! I'm sure I'm not the only one!

@@tiffr5016what a nutcase

I am retired but if I had had this attitude when I was working, going to school, then raising kids and working, nothing would have gotten accomplished. It would have been a bad example to set for my kids. And all 4 grew up to be hard working, responsible adults. Also, everything in moderation-work, play, etc.

@@marytheresejacksonlutz2533Found the boomer who missed the point and still doesn’t get it 👆🏻

Take a solid 1 hour lunch break away from work place

when you work a 8 hour day, and you have few hours to do everything you need to take care of your family, yourself, finances, housework, .... i guess i can be lazy in my sleep

@@CapnCody1622 lmao check back in 10 years

Yes! allot time for walks.

FSH frantic search for happiness- Bob Thieme ministries Houston tx. He coined that, very apt.

As much as I think this saying is cringe and so cliched, it is indeed true. "Work smarter, not harder."

💯 agree. Also called organized, which is something many people are too lazy to do, so they remain crazy busy spinning their wheels.

Easy to say when you have the opportunity. But that's how it is for the fortunate 1%.

I do the same 😊 cheers!

Same here.

Unfortunately true especially in retail and fast food industries

😂 Beautiful

I tend to have a clear mind when I swim for an hour 😊

Both of you got it right ✌🏼💛

Sunday was the wrong day. The true Sabbath is on the 7th day of the week, Saturday. It's not too late to start doing the right thing!

I remember, and then the consumer culture was born. OOPS!

Germany is still closing down on Sundays. Everything is closed. There are no noise ordinances in place. All you can do is rest & take it easy. It's actually very refreshing.

@@LAVirgo67 majority of countries in Europe does.

❤

Same here, I work 0.8 so technically part time and since I’ve been single Saturday’s are my day to clean then relax/do art/work out and decompress its wonderful cause my batteries are charged for my non lazy week ahead

What type of work you do??

Can you say what you did to get there? Thank you.

@@susanjones6410 I'm a bartender and run a handyman business. I paid cash for a 900 sq ft fixer upper 6 years ago which has allowed me to save very fast only paying property taxes as rent.

@@susanjones6410 Since my situation is similar (I work two days a week, medical field) I will tell you "how I got here" while you wait for the original poster to reply. First off, I grew up very simple so I don't even want things that most people want. My kids are grown and gone and I'm widowed. I have a mobile home that was paid off in six years so no housing expense now except property taxes which is pretty low on mobile homes. Having lived here so long, I know my home inside and out and can do most repairs myself. I paid cash for my used vehicle which I've had for ten years. My bills are electricity, water, groceries, vehicle liability insurance, and a landline phone bundled with internet. That's it. I love simple country foods like beans, cornbread, potatoes, oatmeal, grits, eggs, milk and produce from my garden. I cut my own hair and don't spend money on manicures, pedicures, tv cable, movie channels or eating out. You Tube provides more than I can keep up with to watch, including concerts, movies, and news. Since I enjoy my backyard (mow it myself) and hardly ever go anywhere, I need very few clothes which I get at thrift stores and I spend about $8 a month on gasoline. My entertainment is birdwatching in my backyard, gardening, nature walks, camping, playing my piano, exercising, talking on the phone, reading, and You Tube. I save money so that when I need car repairs or an unexpected expense, I have the money. Also have occasionally taken trips to Alaska, NYC, and the Caribbean. The key is to pay off everything and know how to actually enjoy living on "nothing". I have so much time! I love my life. It's so uncomplicated and free!!

I knew someone who believed this and lived happily for 25 years after he retired.

They aren't really talking about retired people with presume time to begin enjoying life. I think it's more of the wait until I retire to enjoy life, but we don't know tomorrow. Might never have the chance to retire or die soon after retirement. I just don't like the word lazy to describe what they're talking about.

*Yes*

🙂❤

Your friends have it wrong. You are enjoying your life and time. Keep relaxing

They are jealous

Yeah, it’s most definitely a thing of privilege.

For her sake, hopefully she will soon realize she needs to work on that.

@@paja7647it’s our food - I had to finally give up all processed food - as it caused problems for me - losing weight effortlessly . Already didn’t eat gluten and dairy - soy - most grains - no way could I live on Amtrak food for 2 weeks as they don’t have allergy free menu - but her idea is a good start . Lions are carnivore - perhaps she’s getting to that in a roundabout way ? I can’t do carnivore but aim for keto low carb .

So true. Sometimes when I can't get something to work, it's amazing how coming back to it after a break, it suddenly works fine.

Me too.

God knows best. He commanded us to take one day off out of seven. It is known as the Sabbath or Shabbat. God also sets up feast days throughout the year to not work. God knows best. He loves you.

Well said!! Totally agree!

Actually, farming, and storage of food, gave us a lot more free time. That's when art and music developed, for example.

Energy Management. I like that concept.

I strive to be a human being instead of a human doing

god… 😂 no such thing as

hell...who? What?

Yes!!!!

Agreed…

It's called acedia. You discovered something ancient philosophers know, the dark side of inaction.

u might enjoy reading about helen and scott nearing. intheir 70s they slowly built a home with rocks on some land in vt i believe.

You missed the point. They say do something but less of it.

@@lifesabeach5405My grandfather used to always tell me, that “even if you miss the point of something, you can always find a way to get back up on your feet, and try, try again.” That’s another way of having to do something, rather than nothing, to help pass the time, on a daily basis.

This is by design. It’s the make the ultra rich even wealthier

You can do it! I don't know you but I'm proud of you. Keep going!

I really like how you write.

@@justmejenny7986 Thank you. My memoir manuscript is with a potential publisher. I hope they feel as you do.

💯

It's because they buy expensive high tech cars they don't need.

They probably buying things to impress people they don’t even like.

How about starting a bookkeeping business? I will do this soon and replace my income in several months to quit my Walmart job. Then by next year, i will only be working 20 hours per week and making even more significant income. So I will reach the 4 hour work day per this video.

​@@ljacobs357 so?

Ironically ameruca worked a 30 hr work week. 2 dem senators under fdr opted for 40 gross consunerism. Big big mistake.

We just go to bed earlier so we can get more done when it’s quiet and everyone else is sleeping. That’s all it means. It doesn’t work for everyone.
