Are all Entrepreneurs as lazy as me?
I've noticed lately that at times I'm the laziest human being alive. If a task isn't directly part of one of my passions, I find myself saying "I don't feel like doing it" and bailing...or if it's business-related saying "let's just pay someone to do it for us".
When it comes to trivial tasks like straightening up the house or taking my car in for maintenance, I'm horrible at doing simple things that normal people handle regularly. You might think it's a sign of being overworked, but I'm going to go ahead and disagree - I've ALWAYS been like this. Unless something strikes a fancy with me, I don't feel like doing it and I usually don't.
I'm not sure how this looks to other people, but I'm beginning to think that some people are really perplexed by me because from the outside I look like some kid who sits on his computer all day but neglects/blocks out everything else. At other times if I've been more focused on working out or playing basketball or a girlfriend, and those things looked important to me along with my job, so it's not just work.
Maybe my perceived laziness is a byproduct of my ability to dial in and accomplish the task at hand and maybe it's really a good thing.
All I know, is I'm the last guy in the world who feels like re-painting a room on the weekend (it's fine the way it is) or shoveling the drive way (the snow will melt eventually on its own) or rake the leaves (could anything be a bigger waste of human time?).
OR maybe I'm just discovering that a lot of things people do are a huge waste of time and that I only get one life so I'm not going to waste time doing things that I fail to see a purpose in...
