Dana gave some great advice there. I also don’t believe that laziness exists. I’ve written about it before.
However, like you, I do chastise myself for being lazy on many occasions. It is truly something many of us have to work on in our relationships with ourselves.
And for the record, eating peanut butter out of the jar, with a butter knife, is absolutely the only way to do it.
Haha, I'm glad to know I'm not the only psycho eating PB out of the jar.
I think that most people probably just believe, as I have, that they are lazy. I hope this isn't one of those "it takes a lifetime" kinda lessons to learn . . .
Thanks for this. I'm not the only one thinking I have lost the ability to complete tasks, or come up with new things/projects to do. I believe apathy has crept in during this very long 15 months of waiting for the world to start up again.
This whole year has been a fog and I've been surprised at how much self-care has meant. It's bizarre to not need a lot of rest and then suddenly find yourself requiring much more, but while doing much less. This is a totally new experience for me, and, I think, many others.

Adam Grant wrote a piece in the NYTimes about "languishing." It definitely resonated with me.
