Lazy Geniuses Share Times They Worked Smarter, Not Harder

It might sound contradictory, but lazy people can actually be some of the best employees if you know how to properly utilize them. There are some people who are just allergic to work in general, but there are also plenty who will work VERY hard to be able to do absolutely nothing. Properly harnessed, laziness can be a tool for some seriously clever innovation that can make a job easier for years to come!

I myself am a proud proponent of what I like to call 'constructive laziness.' Sure, I may spend an extra hour online today trying to look up what I need - but if investing that hour saves me even 10 minutes a day, I've basically already gotten a return on that investment in about a week.
