It's not that working less itself is dishonest, it's what you demand for working less. You feel entitled to all the luxuries of life without believing you should put in the effort to achieve them. That's dishonest. You refuse to live by the sweat of your brow, instead believing that the collective should support everyone through the use of socialist government. You want the big house, the energy, the car, the internet, the TV, ect. but believe that it's unreasonable to have to put in work to get it. It's inconceivable in this country that laziness is rewarded. You're free to be lazy here, but you have to reap the consequences for doing so.
What the hell are you talking about? I am happy like it is. I think its fair to have an upper limit to work, most Europeans manage fine with 40 hours of working and have the same luxuries as you.
Why do you say I am lazy, I am not. I use say 20 hours a week to work out/exercise, making my distribution of work a bit different than yours.
Do you not think the property market is quite bad though? Bubbled prices because of enormous loans that people take, forcing them to work many decades to pay it down, working like slaves..?
And of course I have schedules...it's called being productive!
You said you used a schedule to manage your private time, sorry to say it but thats quite sad.
I respect you for liking your work so much, but its maybe a bit too much since you have to managed the private life with schedules?
Sure, if I could sleep 10 hours a day, do 5 hours worth of "work" and f off for the other 9 hours, I wouldn't have to make a plan. But I wouldn't accomplish anything either; and there's nothing good about being a lazy jerk who never accomplishes anything.
So, you are saying its not possible to accomplish something in less time? Its called effectiveness.. Ask the French, they only work 35 hours a week and have a comparable economy to your, but per hour worked they are the most effective of any western country.
Finishing is fun, it's something to take pride in. Putting your all into a project and coming out on the other side with a finished product...there's nothing like it.
I completely agree with this, I am a semi-professional entrepreneur also, hoping that I can move onto this area full time eventually.
If everyone where like you, you understand that the human race would not have progressed as far as it has, right?
What are you actually saying here? I think you are prejudice and judging me for having more comfortable hours than you..
If people only put in 5 hours of half assed work,
Stop right there.... What the heck are you assuming here? I put in 6 1/2 hours of extreme work 4 days a week. I deserve 1 the one hour break I have every day and the 3 day weekend. I often take vacation for months, I enjoy that as well, what about you, you never have any vacation either then I guess..?
Your life style is completely counter to the whole of human evolution. You waste that brain nature designed, you waste the potential that humans have. Waste of space is what I'd call it.
What the hell is wrong with you? I work and I take care of my body also, I eat healthy and I study every single day.. What the heck is counter to human evolution of that? Id say its one step further from just working, having sex and sleeping.
You should be damned well thankful that there are others the opposite of you that have made the vaccines and electronics and advancements in all aspects of science which has further driven technology to lead to a better, more comfortable life style for you. Thank your lucky stars we ain't all so lazy. You couldn't be as lazy as you are currently without us industrious folk.
Most likely I will accomplish A LOT more than you with a LOT less work.
