The last time I remember being really lazy was when my husband travelled and I was left at home with the kids. It was just me and them, and even though nothing unusual had happened, I just woke up that morning feeling so tired and unmotivated.
I still managed to get up and cook breakfast, because, well… kids don’t wait for motivation. But after that, I looked at the dishes in the sink and honestly, I just didn’t have the energy. I told myself, “I will do it later.” At that moment it sounded like a good plan.
But later never really came. Morning turned into afternoon, and I kept walking past the kitchen like I didn’t see anything. Each time I passed, I would think I should just wash them quickly, but somehow I kept postponing it. Before I knew it, it was evening, and the dishes were still sitting there exactly the same way I left them.
The funny part is, I wasn’t even doing anything serious all day. I just… didn’t feel like it.
The next morning, I woke up still not in the mood to do anything. But then I got a call from my husband. He said he was already on his way back home, and he was even close by. Then he added something that changed everything, he wasn’t coming alone. He was bringing a friend with him.
Honestly, that was all I needed to hear. I don’t know where the energy came from, but in that moment I just moved. It was like something inside me switched on. I went straight to the kitchen and started washing dishes like my life depended on it. In a few minutes, the sink was empty, the kitchen was cleaned, and I was already moving on to other things I had ignored.
While I was rushing around, I actually laughed at myself. Because how is it that I couldn’t wash dishes for two days, but suddenly I could clean the whole kitchen in record time just because someone was coming over?
By the time they arrived, everything looked fine and normal, like nothing had happened.
That experience made me realize something simple about myself, sometimes it’s not even real laziness. It’s just lack of urgency. The moment urgency shows up, the energy also shows up. And honestly… I still find it funny when I think about it.
