Laziness seems to be simply inertia. That is, the body prefers to continue the work it is doing at the present moment. If it was moving, it wants to keep moving. If it was sleeping, it wants to keep sleeping.

That’s why it’s so hard to start something. Inertia, or "static friction," gets in the way. Well begun is half done!

Of course, for humans, an emotional component is added to this laziness: expectations, fears, "I can’t do it," "what’s the point," and so on.

The main rule for fighting laziness: do the first Pomodoro right away.

You come to work, turn on your computer — don’t start checking email or drinking coffee. Instead, do the first work Pomodoro immediately (right away). Then go ahead with the news and coffee with colleagues.

Do the first Pomodoro, and the brick will start rolling downhill.
