This isn't lazy so much as efficient, you are swapping manual effort for mental effort.

For example.

Go to a lazy person's house and the whole place is a mess; Go to a diligent persons house and it is very tidy, because they clean everything top to bottom. Go to an engineer's house and they have arranged everything so that it can be made reasonably clean in under 30 mins.



Oh, that's because building a robot to automate house-cleaning is still kinda hard.

Unfortunately, not everyone sees that distinction.


I agree. The problem is most people see unwillingness to putting physical effort as laziness, while it can as well be applied to mental effort and still be valid.
