QUIZ: How Lazy Are You?

Let’s find out. In a while. Or maybe after that.

AS A WISE man once asked: Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?

Do you find yourself stuck to the couch more often than not, or are you totally virtuous about seizing the day? Well, find out by taking our quiz.

(Or maybe take it in five minutes, or after that cup of tea. Don’t worry. We’ll be waiting…)

1. Which one of these is most important to you?
Sleep. SLEEP.
Looking and feeling my best.

Food - glorious food.
Keeping active.
2. When you text "Leaving the house now!" to a friend you're meeting, what do you really mean?
Duh, that I'm leaving the house now, obviously.
Probably that I'm a good 15 minutes away from being ready to leave...
3. What kind of TV watcher are you?
One episode a night.
One SEASON a night.
4. Which one of these most accurately reflects your attitude to time-keeping?
Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?
No time like the present!

Being 5 or 10 minutes late really isn't a big deal.
Arriving on time is almost rude in Ireland, didn't you know?
5. Which of these looks most like your kitchen?
6. How long does it generally take you to reply to an email?
Immediately, if not sooner.
Few days. Actually, maybe a week.

I'm frightened to look at my inbox at the moment, to be honest.
Ah, they'll phone if it's important.
7. Are you a night owl or an early bird?
8. How on top are you of your personal paperwork?
My passport is up for renewal in 2016, so I'm getting the bits ready for that.
Am I meant to have personal paperwork? What?

I have all my bits of paper in a folder somewhere.
I've everything colour-coordinated and ready up to 2016. Organisation is key.
