Laziness v. efficiency
My wife frequently calls me lazy. It’s not because I won’t do stuff but because of how I do stuff. For example, when charged with sweeping, I’ll use the large pushbroom instead of the small one. It covers more surface area and is more efficient. Or, if it’s outside, I use the leaf blower. If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing with power tools. Not sure why she says it’s lazy as it takes more effort to get the blower out and all that. And the blower does a better job.

Give the hardest jobs to the laziest person and he’ll find the most efficient way to do it.

I had an old boss who used to say that necessity was not the mother of invention, laziness was.
I disagree about the leaf blower doing a better job, though. A good push broom will do a much better job than a blower, although the blower is better at getting up the big stuff.
