On Laziness

I'm creating something like a reference on laziness. Its an ongoing 'project' and so far i have only two verses from Proverbs.

Why?
Well its a problem, for me and i'm sure for some people too. Nothing can jolt us out of bad habits like hardcore truth like a lazy person is like someone who destroys things. Walau.

It is my desire that it will not become just a 'project' but something that will be useful to me as i tend to slack here and there, that it will help bring me back to doing the things that matter and making the main thing the main thing.
