2. Laziness

3. Defin.. Lazine…
Laziness does not mean sitting on your butt watching TV and eating bon bons. The
process of simplifying takes a lot of effort. But when you develop a new innovation
once, you get to leverage it over and over again. So in the long run, you are ahead.
Professor John Atanasoff, along with graduate student Clifford Berry, built the world’s
first electronic-digital computer back in the late 1930’s.
Why did he do this?
He said, “I was too lazy to calculate and so I invented the computer.”

4. Laziness Drives Innovation
Laziness drives innovations that improve productivity. It comes from saying,
“There must be a better way.”
Being lazy doesn’t necessarily mean not having to do anything, it just means you find an
easier way to do it so you don’t have to work as hard. Here are some of the ways that
being a lazy person can help you to find great success.

5. Inventions of Laziness

6. Nokia Lumia 920
Nokia Engineers mounted their entire camera
assembly on Spring instead of just only the lenses
and it made Lumia 920 one of the best camera
smartphone.
Nokia Engineers embedded three antennas in their
wireless charging dock, instead of a NFC.

7. Really ??

8. Why Laziness ?
In fact, the very definition of efficiency, “Achieving maximum productivity with
minimum wasted effort or expense.” implies that laziness is a requirement!
 You avoid busy work
 You know how to delegate to cover more ground
 You are clever, so you can be lazy
 You focus on only the bare necessities
 You know how to procrastinate
 You are lazy because you are efficient
 You know how to make money when they are sleeping

9. Thank You. Be Lazy, but stay busy.
