1 The word gun is a noun, but can be used as a verb when you âgun someone down.â Verbing a noun can add spice and drama to an otherwise bland sentence. 2  Experiment with nouns to find one that works well with the verbing process.
As another poster mentioned, depression is a cause of laziness. But let's not forget procrastination. While not officially recognized as a mental disorder, in some people procrastination is both a cause and effect of laziness. Certian people cannot prioritize correctly, to the point I've read many cases where a person will simply always make their priorities come second, mentally speaking.
This is often where the depressed person can be, mistakenly, thought of as lazy or apathetic. A depressed personâs lack of motivation is not the same as laziness. When someone is lazy, they donât want to do work or other unpleasant tasks, even when they have the energy to do so. They may be motivated just fine, they simply donât want to exert themselves in any way.
