Often laziness gets replaced by procrastination. When a person must intend to do something, and then decide not to do it for any reason, the act qualifies as procrastination. Procrastination is a unique form of delay and we all delay things. Various studies have found that up to 20 percent of adults feel that they struggle with procrastination. It’s important to make these distinctions because even the most tireless and diligent people sometimes procrastinate. The fact that you procrastinate doesn’t make you lazy.
