Overcoming laziness requires creating structured tasks, improving energy through exercise and diet, and reading Proverbs.

Mike's practical counsel: (1) give yourself specific task commitments at home since optional tasks get skipped and committed tasks get done; (2) if energy is genuinely low, exercise and good diet are the answer even though counterintuitive; (3) read Proverbs — one per day for 31 days with special attention to its teaching on laziness; (4) the hardest part is getting started — overcoming inertia is most of the battle.
