People in non-coercion Twitter like to talk about how "laziness isn't real", but laziness is totally real it's just that most things we label laziness (e.g. procrastination) are better looked at as something else. Laziness is the tendency to settle into comfortable local optima.

How do you get yourself to do that? Well... take everything I said above and apply it to itself. Mostly use noncoercion (this is exciting! I am excited to see what is in there!) and occasionally give yourself a kick up the arse (stop being lazy and eat your shadow!)

In this thread I've tried to articulate what the correct amount might look like: Not so much an internal task master, but a little internal trickster god needling you out of your comfort zone, or a kind parent gently telling you that yes it's unfair but we gotta.

A certain level of gentle cruelty is useful and very fun, and there are all sorts of ways to get that with others. It's a shame to deny yourself that too.
