When I receive a repetitive task,
my first thoughts are
“How can I eliminate this task?”
or
“How can I complete this task faster?”
I’ll admit.
I’m not thinking this
because I want to change the world.
I’m thinking this because I’m busy
AND lazy.
“Some of the greatest innovations
were developed by people
who were too lazy to do a particular task.
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.””
If laziness is a motivator
for innovation,
embrace it!
