How not to be lazy?

1. Hardening. We shouldn't avoid what is inconvenient or hard for us.
2. Checking our curiosity. It's very easy to interrupt our tasks by checking something on our smartphones. It wastes our time and makes us lazy. We should be conscious of that and try to prevent these situations.
3. Burn our bridges. If we can't work efficiently because of our distractions e.g. a smartphone or computer game, we can take our smartphone to another room or uninstall the game.
4. Being afraid of punishment. We should think about the consequences of our laziness.
5. Pleasant and unpleasant. We can connect tasks which we don't like with tasks which we like e.g. cleaning the house and listening to the music.
6. Gradation. We should get used to the effort in steps. Let's start with something easier and then turn on the heat.
7. Looking for a sense of life. When we feel dejection we lost our motivation. A rich spiritual life based on praying, reading books about spirituality, using the sacrament of penance and communing regularly makes our relationship with God deeper and thereby we would see a point in our efforts.
8. Avoiding destructive argumentations. We should be aware of our temptations which decrease our motivations because it helps us to avoid them and fight against them. We can hear in our head the voice talking to us "It's not a big deal if I do it later". It's a trick that causes us to make an exception and contributes to the weakness of our will. Next time we will give a temptation easier.
9. Developing the virtue of diligence. This virtue helps us to overcome sadness connected with effort.

3. Burn ouring bridges.

If we can't work efficiently because of our distractions e.g. a smartphone or computer game, (we can take our smartphone to another room)- a strange use of personification- use this instead: we can place our smartphones in another room or uninstall the game.s on the phones.

Feedback

Nice work.

When we feel dejectioned we loste our motivation.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard the word “dejection” before

Next time we will give a temptation easier.

“give a temptation” is not something used in American English. Maybe try “tempt someone”, but still I don’t “more easily” would make sense after “tempt someone”.

Feedback

Overall very excellent English! The grammar you had was mostly correct but just not something an American would typically say. Good luck!

Thank you:)

1. Hardening. Harden?

If you are attempting to give instructions then "Harden" would be better in this context over "Hardening"

We shouldn't avoid what is inconvenient or harddifficult for us.

I don't think how you wrote it would be grammatically incorrect but it sounds awkward because the word "hard" would rarely be used in that context.

2. Checking ourBe curiosity.us?

I am not sure what "Checking our curiosity" would mean. Do you mean that people must be more curious? Or do you mean that people must keep their curiosity under control?

It's very easy to interrupt our daily tasks by checking something on our smartphones.

This sentence was grammatically correct and quite well written for a non native speaker. However it was a bit awkward.

It wastes our time and makes us lazy.

We should be conscious of that and try to prevent these situations.

3. Burn our bridges.Remove Distractions?

This sentence could work. However typically in English "Burning Bridges" refers to ending relationships with other people or neglecting opportunities rather than talking about distractions.

4. Being afraid of punishmentfear the potential consequences.

Again "being" wouldn't be the correct word if you are instructing someone. Also the words selected were a bit awkward. Still not wrong though.

5. Pleasant and unpleasant.

We can connect tasks whichthat we don't like with tasks whichthat we like e.g. cleaning the house and listening to the music.

"which" would not work in this context typically. "that" would be preferable.

Wwe should get used to the effort inincreasing effort with each steps.

Your sentence made sense but it was awkward and not the best given what was said in the next sentence.

Let's start with something easiery and then turn on the heat.

you are not comparing in this sentence. Therefore it is better to say easy rather than easier.

7. Looking for a senpurpose of life.

Again you must use the active rather than the passive form of the verb. Also purpose would work better here. Sense usually refers to understanding or intuition. i.e I have a sense that he is not a good person.

When we feel dejection we loste our motivation.

You changed the second verb to past tense for no reason. It should remain present.

A rich spiritual life based on praying, reading books about spirituality, using the sacrament of penance and communing regularly makes our relationship with God deeper and thereby we would see a point in our efforts.

This sentence is quite good

8. Avoiding destructive argumentationsways of thinking.

argumentations is a word that is almost never used in english. As a result this sentence sounds strange. "Ways of thinking" would be better.

We should be aware of our temptations which decrease our motivations because itbeing aware would helps us to avoid themour temptations and fight against them.

the sentence was a bit Awkward. However it did make sense.

We can hear in our head the voice talking toelling us "It's not a big deal if I do it later".

telling would be more often used in this context.

It's a trick that causes us to make an exception and contributes to the weakness of our will.

Next time we will give up a temptation easier.?

Your english is comprehensible. However sometimes you conjugate verbs in the wrong tense. Also you often use words that are not wrong but rarely used in the context in which you use them. You seem to be on the right track :)

I wasn't sure how to describe it. I meant that next time it will be easier to get into temptation = I feel the temptation and I do it and it's easier than before because I have done it once.

"give into" often refers to accepting failure/defeat to something or someone. i.e Whenever my child begs for chocolate, I give in. (meaning that the person saying this sentence does not want to give their child chocolate but ends up giving it to them because their child begs so much.)
