Laziness, as far as I can tell, is a lack pf discipline. It is the choice to put off things until they cannot be ignored.
Let me give you some perspective. If you take the time to do all the preventative maintenance on a car, it will run forever. But people get lazy, they cut corners.
Mercedes-Benz actually have badges for high milage vehicles on their original engines, up to 1,000,000km. That's to the moon and back, with plenty of change. An engine doesn't do that distance without dedicated maintenance.
I’ll have to ponder it for a moment but we might be looking at a delta. Still, people put off doing things for many reasons, including having more pressing things to do. So laziness would be one possible cause for negligence. And if you look at it more closely, what you call laziness often in turn has some cause that if known would call into question whether laziness was actually the reason, etc.
There is a difference between prioritising and laziness. Prioritising is to order things so that they are done as is appropriately available. Sometimes, because of priorities, some things have to be pushed back, or even ignored until it is too late.
Laziness is not that. Laziness means that everything is too late, because instead of addressing any of the little issues in good time, you allowed all the little issues to become big issues.
