1. Admit sin. Admit that laziness is the problem and confess it as sin to God. Until something is recognized as sin, there will be little motivation to deal with it.

2. Establish priorities and manage time. Priorities and time management are the keys to solving disorganization.

3. Refocus. The next step is working to refocus attention from end results to the means of achieving the results.

4. Obedience regardless of feelings. We need to obey God regardless of how we feel. The lazy man can do all things through Christ who strengthens him.

5. Disciplined living. Read Prov. 13:4. Diligence makes the difference — disciplined activity, which implies consistent obedience. The soul of the lazy person honestly desires fulfillment, maturity, and holiness, yet does not achieve it. To know there is no shortcut to maturity can produce a more balanced and realistic Christian life in the undisciplined person.

6. The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied. Proverbs 13:4

7. Have hope. There is no reason for despair. The Bible clearly charts definite steps that you can take in your own life and use in working with someone else to deal with this habit-level problem of laziness.

a. We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure. 12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. Hebrews 6:11‑12

8. Prayer.
