What do you do when you feel lazy at worK?

Gee I wish I could be lazy at work, but my job does not permit it, as I deal with senior citizens. i get my tird times,but I just have to keep going.

Take a break for say 10 minutes, have some tea and then try to work. If that is not helping enough I start browsing the net, chat with my colleagues through instant messenger, share some gossip. This will certainly work. If it does not, I would take half day leave and go home

It definitely should be avoided but, of course, there are times when we feel so lazy that you just can't make yourself go to work. I think one effective way to make yourself get over that laziness is to think of the $$$ you will lose or the work load that you will have if you don't get to work now.

I always feel lazy in the afternoon, in order to adjust myself, I always did some other things which is not relative with my working.For example, viewing website,reading novels or chatting with my friends, LOL.

I would usually get up and walk around a bit and get a nice big glass of water. Then I would usually feel better and more ready to work.

Well,sad to say I am always lazy everytime I go to work.. I am always feel sleepy.. I hate waking up early in the morning... But since I need to earn money so I don't have choice but to let myself do all those things that I hate to do everyday except rest day.. Actually,most of the time I don't have work to do in the office..For me not to get bored I'll just surf from the internet or create/ response discussion here in mylot.. Well, I am having fun doing this kind of job .. I won't feel bored somehow.. If ever I have a job to do I definitely do it even sometimes I feel lazy.. I will just convince myself that I am not lazy and I need to submit it before deadline so that if there are still changes need to do then I can still edit it.. Now that I am working, I learn that time is very precious.. I need to save time especially doing my job because doing it in a rush will not work well not like when I am still studying I can do my assignments, requirements or even study my lesson for the exam 1 day or 2 hours before the deadlines or the class.. Being lazy all the time isn't good especially if there are many people will be affected... Happy posting..

This situation is very common, what I do is just stop for some minutes go to washroom wash my face and then come back to work. If still I am not feeling like doing work then I switch over to some other work which I find more interesting. Later I come back to the original work. In between work I keep some snacks handy eating one or two changes mood and then again concentrate on work.

Never had that problem. I was general manager of a large laundry and it was only necessary to sit down and relax then someone would want something and of I would have to go again. Now I am retired I still can't get into the relax mode without wondering what will be needed in few minutes. My wife is a great help with that

When I feel lazy at work I try 2 do stuff 2 keep myself occupied help others, or I surf the internet. Never get on mylot at work tho but might start doing that maybe it'll help pass the time. But alot of time I never am lazy cuz most the time we are busy at work wit alot of patients. The only lazy days we really have our Fridays their are slow days.
