Overcoming Negative Inertia
"Man's greatest passion isn't sex, money or power. It is laziness." — Carl Jung (quoted from memory)
You don't have to be a workaholic or grimly committed to constant doing, but you do want to avoid lethargic passivity. Getting to work with intensity is usually much more fulfilling than a life of postponement and negative inertia. Psychologically, there is a conservative tendency to maintain the status quo, to become more habitual, mechanical and resistant to change.
The positive aspect is that this may be a propitious time to work on the problem of laziness.
