from personal experience, it's easy to fall into this congitive trap when there's no time-management enforced on you from employer side, or when you are self-employed
this has little to do with actually being lazy, it's the inherent mechanisms of our psychology: brain likes well-defined goals and well-defined terms and deadlines, otherwise it cannot evaluate results as satisfactory and reward itself with feeling of accomplishment
this feeling of accomplishment never comes if you smear your work projects thinly throughout 24h and just do them whenever you have time for it, eventually your brain will give up motivating you even to pick any of the tasks up because why would it? there's no satisfaction in it
the worst comes when you get used to this defective routine and your brain starts to nag you to do work when you're supposed to be in your free-time, engaged in your leisure activities
>I am doing X>why am I doing X when I could have been doing MORE USEFUL STUFF LIKE Y RIGHT NOW!?unironically, this problem doesn't exist for 9-17 wageslaves because they buzz in and forget themselves in whatever choice of entertainment poison
I'm not very good in english but this is a very common problem for freelancing or remote IT specialists and artists
it's not right to call it laziness, it's the lack of structure in approaching your workload that blurs the line between work and leisure and deprives one of motivation to do either
