Is it normal to become lazy in your 30's?

Okay, I am 33, well almost 34 now and I can't believe how lazy I have become in every area of my life! To put this in context, I never used to live in such a dumpy state. The house is a mess and I just don't seem to care. I can barely get the excitement to see friends or go to the pub. Is this normal?!

I just don't seem to care about the state of things. For instance, I planned on cleaning the pig sty of a bedroom today, but instead spent all day in bed watching movies. I even cancelled a sex session tonight because I couldn't be bothered getting out the door (i couldn't invite them over to my dump). I don't think it is depression causing this. I have simply just become a pig and I can't believe it! Is this bloody normal!?

    OMG, it's like I just read my own story! I am also in my 30s & used to be so organized...apartment was ALWAYS clean. Now, I can barely be bothered to hang up my work clothes sometimes. I don't consider myself lazy, but I have definitely let some things go that I used to would have never. I have had to tell myself on numerous occasions that I will clean up my apartment this weekend and just like you, I usually end up lying around instead. It's so weird...maybe we're going through an early mid-life crisis...lol. Good luck to you! Just know that you are not alone!

    It's happened to me too. In my case too many days of feeling overwhelmed and burnt out from work. Now I'm in school to change careers but the time wasting and lack of motivation I developed are hard habits to overcome now.

    I think your just over it! Maybe a phase. hopefully it wont last long. I know heaps of 30+yr old men who just cant be fucked anymore! I think its like a plateau in life and then one day you'll wake up and out of nowhere want to do something extraordinary lol

    You've probably always been like this and you're just now noticing it. Torch the house and move on.
