Most people keep calling themselves lazy. But laziness is rarely the real problem. The real problem is overstimulation. We wake up and immediately consume—messages, notifications, social media, videos, opinions, noise. By the time we want to work, our brain is already full. And a full brain doesn’t create—it escapes.
