The other day my roommate said that her grandmother always says she's "too lazy." Too lazy not to wash the dishes right away. Too lazy not to put stuff away right away etc.This sort of behavior is lazy because if you leave it then things get crusted on, or you trip over stuff etc. My roommate although she could see the wisdom in it decided she was "real lazy" not her grandma's lazy.
My mother repeats the old adage "a stitch in time saves nine" on occasion, usually in regards to sewing but I think the same principle is displayed. I've decided that I agree, especially in regards to doing dishes, partly because I think a kitchen sink full of dishes is rather repulsive. I'm not quite so good at it in regards to other things (like folding my laundry) but I still think it a good principle... and I really am too lazy not to clean up that spilled juice right away.
