a random thought

If you want the easiest method of doing a task get a lazy person to do it.

Is this a genius thought or the dying hopes of a lazy person to be useful

depends on what needs to be done... so the answer is yes and no

Thats true but sometimes the simplest solution is beautiful

A lazy person might not have a solution to begin with.

Why would a lazy person be useful?
I speak from experience when I say that being lazy doesn't get much done.

i will wait till several have answered, then cast my vote for the thought that is most popular...

beauty is in the eye of the beholder... doesn´t change the answer ^^ it still is yes and no

Well the idea itself aint that bad, just make sure you check if the Quality hurdle is passed.
And i would add "intelligent" to lazy, as you Need some ideas to get to the easiest solution.

Lazy people aren't useless and tend to find the easiest way of completing tasks

Or they just abandon the activity altogether. But we'd have to establish the level of lazy we're talking about here.

Of course a dumb lazy prrson is pretty useless. An intelligent lazy person is a gold mine

Well it depends on what it is, Because lazy people more often than not, in my experience, don't do things properly, so they can find the easiest way of doing something, but it won't be done to a high standard, But saying that, If you're a lazy person, you might be able to invent something, that make a laborious task easier^^

i´m lazy, but i´m also very precise... so i routinely find ways to make things faster and easier but at the same time keep an extensive period of time looking for details and if everythings in order

If you want something done you're better off doing it yourself than asking others to do it.

By doing absolutely nothing?

That's good then, Like I said, it's mostly in my experience a bad thing to have a lazy person around, But sometimes they can offer up good ideas^^

Edit: I suppose it comes down to intelligence, a stupid lazy person won't do things properly, but a smart lazy person can offer up the great ideas.

1. Take a lazy person;
2. Put Him in a Life or Death situation;
3. Watch him being twice as efficient as a normal person.

Why twice?
Because probably wants to survive AND is to lazy to be in Life or Death situation.

4. Profit

If you want something done you're better off doing it yourself than asking others to do it.

Indeed. Things like, for example, dentistry, surgery, and so on. Best done by yourself.

[drwelfare]

It may be done in a sorry or half-assed manner though.

[Anakso]

Depends on the lazy person I'd say, truly lazy people probably just won't do it or do it late.
