Depends on the situation, but answering the question, motivation & hope helps me fight laziness.

By stop postponing.
Saturn helped me a lot with that, he’s not taking any excuse for not doing what you have to do. His ways are strict, but the discipline sticked with me even till now, and I’ve stopped working with him daily for 1.5 year now.
Setting an alarm for starters help.
Another thing to do is, think right now one thing you have to do but you’re postponing it for some time. Now count from 1 till 5. Get up and go do it.

Summon a demon and ask them to torture you if you are lazy. It works well(joking)

When I’m feeling lazy, I still have a sense of extreme anxiety about certain projects and tasks I haven’t finished. So, I’ve resolved to finish the most unpleasant tasks first. One the worst task is done, the anxiety begins to fade. Attack the worst tasks first, no matter how awful. That can help with laziness.

  1. Read The Now Habit, and you’ll discover that laziness doesn’t exist - don’t argue, just do it! :+1:

  2. Are you “lazy” all the time? If there are times when you’re not “lazy” - how do you know when to be “lazy”?

  3. What would it take in those times to not be “lazy” and to take action?

  4. Forget expecting to have comfy fee-fees all the time before acting - the good feelings come AFTERWARDS. Motivation is great when you have it, but sometimes you have to push through what the whiny toddler inside wants, forever seeking new and shiny things, and just commit.

Yes, de-stressing the situation does work. Thank you for your help mate.

I do that too. I just got to a place in my life where I got so sick of myself that I just had to force action.

Good luck with everything!

Spot on.

I was desperately seeking the motivation to do what I needed to do, both in my everyday life and spiritually, and I realized that it might never come (because of depression/anxiety) so I had to just force myself to do it.

My life improved a lot.
