Continuing the series of Throwback articles… here is a popular article I wrote on how to stop being Lazy and change your life for the better. Laziness, we all have it from time to time. These are the beliefs I repeated to myself again and again until they were part of my nature:
Belief one in How to Stop being Lazy:

Belief three in How to Stop being Lazy:
Nothing is hard when I take the time to analyse and break it down into smaller tasks
