Take CrowdScience listener Laurie. On her days off she loves to relax on the sofa, watch TV, put off chores and generally do as little as possible. Meanwhile, she sees other family members and colleagues apparently buzzing with energy: Going the extra mile at work, taking up hobbies and going to the gym. Why, she asks, is she so lazy? CrowdScience turns to experts to find out whether or not so-called “laziness” is a fundamental part of biology or psychology and why some people have more energy than others. We offer a few tips for boosting energy and motivation. Or maybe Laurie is just being a bit too hard on herself?

**Procrastination Blues** In the land of "I'll do it later," Where motivation's a mere spectator, Lies a kingdom of undone deeds, Where laziness plants its wicked seeds. The alarm clock snoozes, oh so sly, As deadlines dance and pass it by. The laundry pile grows like a mountain, While Netflix binges keep us countin'. "Why now?" says the inner voice, "Let's postpone, rejoice, and make a choice: To nap or not to nap, that is the question, While the to-do list awaits our attention." We're masters of delay, champions of delay, Our productivity lost in the fray. Unmotivated, we sip our tea, Ignoring tasks with glee and glee. But fear not, fellow procrastinators, For we're united by our shared traitors. Together we'll conquer, someday, maybe, When the stars align and we're less lazy. So raise your remote controls high, Toast to the art of "I'll try," And remember, my friend, as you stall: Procrastination unites us all!
