I mentioned this LONG time ago. It's about truly being lazy. It's really hard to explain so open your mind a bit.
Being a perfectly lazy person has to be efficient. Why? A lazy person is, well, lazy. They don't want to repeat steps or procedures. It's better to do it once and get it over with. If you can do everything once without repetition or mistakes, you are efficient. You don't need extra time to redo or check everything all over. Does it make sense?
Here is an example. You are asked to wash dishes at home but you feel lazy so you wait for everybody to finish before getting started on dishes. This way, you clean all the dishes in one go instead of cleaning and waiting for people to finish. Your "laziness" delay the washing process BUT at the same time, you increase your efficiency to doing all the dishes only once.
Now, this is true laziness at work. If you can convert your lazy skills into efficiency, people will forget how lazy you are and remember how efficient you truly are.

Procrastinate Later
I guess I've been lazy since my first post from 3 or 4 months ago. I was taught by a very bright tutor during my grade 12 year, Albert. He told me about the ultimate laziness; it's a very deep meaning to me.
He said if you are truly lazy, you would only do things ONCE. You should try your best at the first time on everything, no matter what, whether it was school, work, or life. When you work hard and succeed at first try, you don't have to be do it again because you are too lazy to redo all the process. That's the ultimate laziness. Not a lot of people can understand this meaning because lazy and success don't link together, so they said it doesn't make sense at all. To me, it made a lot of sense. I know I am lazy, my parents said I am lazy, my friends said I am lazy; yet, I haven't grasp the true meaning of being lazy. I still have to redo some work to perfect my assignments or whatever. Right now, I think I am starting to understand this meaning. I can't rush myself to do things. I have to take it slow and to observe what others are doing wrong so I won't make the same mistakes as them. This way, I don't have to redo my work and waste my time because I am just a lazy person and I am too lazy to do it again.
