Need a lazy day? It happens to the best of us. In these busy times, taking the occasional lazy day isn’t just alright but much needed.

But if you find that you’re taking lazy days more often than not, and you’re having trouble getting things done, it could be a sign that there’s something going on.

A lack of passion for your job, an overwhelming to-do list, and even an underlying medical condition are just some of the things that can interfere with your desire to get things done.

Sometimes laziness happens when you don’t want to face something, like a boring chore or a difficult confrontation with someone. Other times, it might be because you feel overwhelmed and think the task needs a whole team rather than just you. And then there are those times where you really just can’t be bothered. In any case, it’s simply not a desirable trait.
