Hello!

your chapter is looking really well planned! Internally linking key terms within the body of the text would be a great addition to this chapter, it could be really useful to your readers wanting to know more. --Brianna Meddemmen (discuss • contribs) 08:50, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

HI there, well done on your chapter it is looking really good, and very well planned out - I found the take home message of laziness being able to be cured - really interested and this should be further explored through your page! Great work!! U3144808 - 16/10/21 - 10.26pm

Overview of your chapter
Hey, I like this topic, and actually found myself reading it for fun, rather than an edit, but I will leave some advice anyways. --> Note: I know this is a draft and not done, but any advice is good!


 * 1) I would consider using FAR MORE intext links to either Wikiversity pages, Wikipedia, or other websites. You will get more marks for that.
 * 2) I would make it more interesting with better case studies. You could do one where it is the same person throughout or multiple different people experiencing different types of laziness. EG.

Case 1: "Sam lives at home with her parents. He studies health and works (partime) at the bakery. Sam has no expenses other than his car, so he has a lot of free time to do his degree because he doesn't have to work. Although, Sam finds himself spending up to 5 hrs scrolling on IG. He says he wants to study and knows he needs to, but can't be bothered to leave his bed. His mum says he is 'lazy' and was as a child but it has gotten worse since lockdown and with age. -> You could then keep up with Sam through 2-3 more cases or switch to another person. Case studies can also be entirely factual, and based on actual chronic laziness or cases where people have legitimately died of laziness or experienced health issues because of it...


 * 1) Also, add some coloured pictures and more boxes here and there. It makes hard literature, research or 'boring' content easier to read. If you like, go back to those student chapters who have done well in the past, go to source editing, and use their colourful and interactive templates!


 * 1) Finally, make sure you cite any claims you make. I saw a few which were questionably factual. I am sure they are right but provide a citation.

Happy writing!

Hey! as someone who procrastinates quite a bit, this topic is pretty interesting to me, you seem to have covered the topic quite well already but an interesting topic that you could expand on is laziness outside of human behaviour. This article explores laziness in animals, a really interesting read! https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00349198 --U3202984 (discuss • contribs) 12:02, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
