Newtonian Workaholics versus Quantum Laziness

When most people do less, they accomplish less. When most people do nothing, they accomplish nothing. So from this experience, most people have concluded that to accomplish more they have to do more.

Obviously, this is how workaholics think.

Lazy-aholics, on the other hand, see the world differently. They wisely know there is always an easier way where doing less accomplishes more. Lazy-aholics know the power (and glory) of Quantum Laziness.

From the point of view of Quantum Laziness, success is INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to work. That means the less work you do, the greater success you will have. If you want your success to trend toward infinity, then your effort must trend toward zero. The catch is – you have to know how to do less properly. You have to know Quantum Laziness.

I fully realize most people will dismiss this as preposterous. I can only say to these people that if all you’ve ever known is simple counting, then it is difficult to convey to you the awesome power of multiplication.   

(Cue The Lovin’ Spoonful, “I’ll tell you ‘bout the magic and it’ll free your soul, but it’s like tryin’ to tell a stranger about rock ‘n roll.”)

For example, you could spend all day trying to lift a heavy rock. Afterwards, you could justify your existence by feeling proud that you worked long and hard.

If, however, you used a lever, one little flick and the boulder would jump out of the way. In fact, the longer the lever, the less effort you would need to exert. If the lever were long enough, you’d not have to expend any energy at all.

We all frequently hear of using leverage in finance where a little bit of money controls a lot. That same principle of less controlling more can be applied to any human endeavor. If you think like a Quantum Lazyist, you know there is always an easier, faster, cheaper, better, lazier, more powerful way to accomplish a task.

Once again, if you know how to do less properly, success is inversely proportional to work.

In nature, what humans call laziness might translate to "conservation of energy," a key survival principle. Bill Mollison, who teaches the concepts of Permaculture (design principles of sustainable land use in harmony with nature)said it well: "Work is pollution." If you embrace that idea, you begin to see that effort must be efficient and purposeful, or it is simply waste.

I am actually trying to practice. And, just from honest real world experience. This plan, really, really works. Here is why. Nobody is going to ask you "What are you doing, right now!", "What did you accomplish". Most will just look at what needs to be done, is it done? When will it be done? If I say something should take a week. Who came up with this metric? I think the workaholic(me included sometimes) will try to do it 3 days and will probably make mistakes and then be mad for working so hard but basically moving backwards in reaching the goal. But, let us say it takes 3 weeks, well now, you calm down because you are more focused as opposed to rushed. Some will wonder why you are taking so long, others will think you are perfectings something.

This blog is interesting. I will learn some more tricks and get back to you.
