How to overcome Laziness when there is no interest in anything?

Laziness is not a problem but a symptom that indicates a hidden manifestation of underused capability.

We become lazy because we are not sure of the outcome of the activity, we are about to undertake.

The sure way to solve this problem is to identify small goals and make sure the goals are reached regularly.

The goals should not be overwhelming. Choose very small goals in the beginning, like say, two concepts or two mathematical problems or two diagrams, etc. in a day.

Once you can achieve them, congratulate yourself for being successful and the next day increase the target to three concepts, etc.

Please go through the following videos occasionally so that you get energized to continue with your work.
