Description
Book Introduction
For those of you who are afraid of failure and have stopped
The most realistic and sure solution!
Peter Hollins, one of the most prominent psychologists in the United States, offers the most realistic and surefire solution to laziness for those who have stopped because of the fear of failure.
Why do we dream of perfect results yet remain stagnant, unable to achieve them? "The Lazy Perfectionist" begins with this very question.
Laziness, which is easily defined as laziness or lack of willpower, hides a more complex psychological layer.
For those who have suffered from the shackles of repetitive laziness, "The Lazy Perfectionist" offers a gentle, actionable starting point instead of telling them to work harder.
Unlike other self-help books, The Lazy Perfectionist doesn't try to force motivation on its readers.
The author simply suggests, in his own refined language, a method of changing behavior to solve the problem.
It also helps us to uncover the essence of laziness and avoid directing the arrows of self-reproach at ourselves.
Discover the chronic problems that are ruining you and understand and solve your inner laziness through psychological tools such as the RAIN technique and ACT.
The habit of procrastination and delay is not something to be fought and conquered, but rather something to be understood and improved upon.
As you accept your current situation and learn how to change it, one by one, you will discover a new you who no longer fights with your lazy self.

Into the book
I'm avoiding work, but I feel guilty and anxious in a corner of my heart, so it's not fun at all.
It doesn't seem like I'm resting, but it doesn't seem like I've finished what I had to do.
I don't feel like I'm truly resting because the burden of still having work to do keeps lingering in my mind.
I barely manage to pull myself together and focus on my work again, but the work is boring, difficult, and the pressure to do well feels overwhelming.
Even if you try hard, you stop again after just a few minutes.
--- p.12, Chapter 1.
From "Why do I appear?"
Don't avoid fear, embrace it.
Face your fears head on and embrace them, but don't let fear stop you from taking action.
In other words, separate actions from feelings.
You can always act no matter what you feel.
Feeling fear itself is not dangerous, and being afraid does not mean you should stop acting.
---p.19, Chapter 1.
From "Why do I appear?"
Maintaining passion and motivation is not a state of mind that comes 'naturally'; it is something that must be actively and consciously developed.
--- p.38, Chapter 1.
From "Why do I appear?"
The world is filled with messages telling us to consume, relax, enjoy ourselves, and pursue only comfort and pleasure.
But comfort can be a dangerous trap.
To overcome the barriers created by the 'erosion of comfort', we must do the opposite of what we want to do.
That is, we must intentionally engage in activities that make us uncomfortable.
--- p.70-71, Chapter 2.
From “A Way of Thinking That Rejects Comfort”
Procrastinators, especially chronic procrastinators, are often overly harsh on themselves before and after starting a task.
It's important to take a step back from self-criticism and accept that everyone makes mistakes and procrastinates.
Rather than getting caught in a vicious cycle of beating yourself up for making small mistakes, it's important to forgive yourself and move forward.
--- pp.131-132, 「Chapter 3.
From “Small but strong habits that overcome laziness”
The first thing you should do is create a comprehensive list of all the tasks that need to be done.
If you write it down yourself, you can organize the thoughts that were floating around in your head and realize that the work is not as overwhelming as you thought.

Publisher's Review
Because I want to do it perfectly
Instead, did you do nothing?
A psychological prescription for those who are so lazy that they have become listless!
I just woke up a little late, but my whole body feels heavy.
Just looking at your to-do list can be overwhelming, and you force yourself to start your day, only to find yourself thinking, "Can't I just do it later?"
You end up fiddling with your smartphone or watching videos all day.
Furthermore, the thought of being lazy torments me.
What is the "laziness" that plagues us? And is laziness a problem of lack of will? In fact, laziness isn't a single thing, but a complex web of behaviors, beliefs, attitudes, habits, and emotions. Your drive for perfection only further burdens you.
Perhaps, perfectionism, wanting to do everything well, will eventually lead us into a hell of laziness.
“You are lazy”
So why do we label ourselves "lazy" yet remain unable to change? The author explains that it's because our brains instinctively seek out what's safe and familiar.
New challenges bring uncertainty, and this uncertainty feeds fear, ultimately keeping us within our 'comfort zone'.
But this safe zone is the biggest reason why we cannot change.
Psychological obstacles such as sensual desires, aversion and resistance, laziness and apathy, doubt and skepticism act as stumbling blocks whenever we attempt change, ultimately leading us to repeat the habit of procrastination and giving up.
“Cheer up and ask yourself.”
To move forward, we must let go of the familiar and choose discomfort.
Procrastinators, especially chronic procrastinators, are often overly harsh on themselves before and after starting a task.
It's important to take a step back from self-criticism and accept that everyone makes mistakes and procrastinates.
Rather than getting caught in a vicious cycle of beating yourself up for making small mistakes, it's important to forgive yourself and move forward.
“Get out of this hell of sloth!”
Procrastination is a universal experience, and it's not the end of the world.
It's important to be a little more forgiving toward yourself, avoid falling into a vicious cycle of self-criticism, and refocus on your work.
The key here is acceptance.
You may not feel well right now, and that's okay.
The important thing is not to get caught up in this feeling and fall into a vicious cycle of procrastination or the idea that you can't do anything.
If so, then you start thinking about what kind of goal you have and its purpose.
How can I positively influence how I view myself? How can I positively change how others view me? What meaningful advancements can I make in my personal growth? Like the Spartans, I say we should focus solely on our core goals.
This method helps you focus on your higher-level goals without wasting time worrying about what's important.
This book will serve as an excellent guide to leading a more systematic life.
