EBSCOhost: "The article focuses on laziness. Psychotherapist Kalman Glantz points out that laziness emerged only when planning for the future became possible. People feel oppressed by long-term goals that do not bear directly on survival or status. The author says people are keenly responsive to immediate stimulation and to present-moment distractions and not to future plans. Laziness by definition is not uncomfortable--it is simply an unwillingness to expend energy."

The Advantages of Closing a Few Doors - New York Times: "“Closing a door on an option is experienced as a loss, and people are willing to pay a price to avoid the emotion of loss,” Dr. Ariely says. In the experiment, the price was easy to measure in lost cash. In life, the costs are less obvious — wasted time, missed opportunities. If you are afraid to drop any project at the office, you pay for it at home.

“We may work more hours at our jobs,” Dr. Ariely writes in his book, “without realizing that the childhood of our sons and daughters is slipping away. Sometimes these doors close too slowly for us to see them vanishing.”"
