The 321 method

Say goodbye to laziness

Laziness is something that humans struggle with on the daily, it is something that is so simple yet so hard to overcome in certain instances. We have all had mornings where all we feel like doing is laying in bed and doing absolutely nothing rather than getting up and doing something productive. Its not something to be ashamed about because it is so common, although it is a habit that we would like to get rid of. In the past few months of my life I have noticed myself being lazy way less than I used to when I discovered this method I’m about to talk to you about. Now it may seem simple but it helped me out a lot.

So what is the 321 method?

The 321 method is a mental technique used to combat laziness, it is simply just the act of stopping whatever’s going through your mind or whatever you’re doing and counting down from 3, when you get to 1 you end whatever you are doing and move on. An example is if your laying in bed scrolling through Instagram, you would simply just put the phone down, count 3, 2 1, and get up. You can use this method in so many different ways and situations. It seems like such a simple technique but your mind compels you to listen to the countdown. If this doesn’t work and you let your laziness get the best of you then just think of better things you could be doing than the laziness you are giving in too.
