You don't have to be an engineer or a genius to come up with cool ideas. Most of the times the simplest ideas create the biggest impact on our lives. Lazy people are more likely to face difficulties in their workplace because they want to be efficient without too much effort. This puts them in a great advantage to come up with ideas when compared to the average human. The power of ideas always outweighs the power of effort. Ideas are the product of our thoughts and problem-solving skills. The Journal of Health Psychology already proved that lazy people are more likely to engage and be better in activities that involve thinking. This research shows that lazy people are better at coming up with new ideas. But let's dive a little bit deeper into that last sentence. Why are lazy people more likely to come up with good Ideas Lazy people don't come up with ideas to get rich, they do it to make their lives easier. When they create an idea, profits don't interest them. This has to be mentioned because some people get discouraged from creating new ideas because of low profitability. If you want to come up with great ideas, you have to forget about the profit and think about the benefits. Another big reason lazy people love creating ideas is that they want to save time and feel less resistance in their workplace. When they are more efficient they feel happy about themselves because they can use that free time to relax and enjoy their lives. Lazy ways to create ideas Now it's time to dive deep into their minds to figure out how they actually create ideas and what are their secrets. The perfect way to find out their formula is to look at some simple ideas that are used daily. 1. Learn the History of the past inventions For example, the invention of the paperclips wasn't intentional. In the late 1800s, Samuel Fay wanted to attach pieces of paper without piercing its structure. That's when he spotted a wire on the ground shaped in the form of X and he used it to hold his papers. That's the earliest version of that invention and hasn't been changed since then. As you can see the best solutions are probably the simplest ones. The lazy way of creating something is probably the most functional one. Learning how other inventors function is crucial for the development of your ideas. 2. Divide the problem you are trying to solve When lazy people try to solve a problem, they divide into smaller problems and try to find solutions for them separately. This method is effective because even if they don't find the solution to the whole problem, they can still perform their tasks a lot better than before. That way they won't waste much time and are being more efficient. 3. Ignore other people's opinion You should never let other people's opinions discourage you from doing the right thing. They don't see the problem as you do, so they can't correlate with your thoughts. God knows how many ideas have been abandoned because of pessimistic people. Believing in your ideas is the only thing that matters. Ignore others and be creative. How to turn your ideas into reality The first you should do is patent your idea. That way you will feel protected and you can freely share your ideas with experts from that field. The next step is to determine the value of your idea. That way you can calculate how much money you need to invest in order to create the first prototype. After you did the research on the market and you are pleased with the results it's time to materialize the Idea. Even if you don't have a college degree you can still create the invention by hiring someone that has engineering knowledge to do the technicalities for you. Another way is to do it by yourself and then let the invention get further testings in laboratories. Once everything is done you can finally let the idea work for you and make you rich. Final Words Use the maximum potential of your laziness and try to change the world to better. Realizing that ideas are the ones that control the world is crucial for your progress. If we focused a little bit more on ideas and a little bit less on becoming hard-working mindless individuals we could've made a lot better world for everyone.
