Study recommendations for laziness 06 Feb 2022 14:41 #376899

Are there any sefarim on how to combat and overcome laziness in specific? I have mesilat yesharim but I feel it's not enough and that I'm not even succeeding in achieving zechirut because of my laziness. 

Another problem is that my mind is usually filled with thoughts that are just nonsense and delusional often and this is especially true after a fall, any sefarim on how to deal with this also? I prefer sefarim from rishonim (just a general preference of stuff written a long time ago because they tend to be filled with nuances I like to learn) but I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Even if you already have a filter, these are necessary additions because
they fix many loopholes that exist with paid filters (speaking from firsthand
experience) and because they add priceless accountability features.

Sorry but I'm not able to read Hebrew yet, I was able to understand orchot tzaddikim but can you tell me in english the transliterations of the 2 chapters? I think the first one is shaar hazerizut but the second one I don't know.

The Battle of the Generation by Hillel S. has been a huge help for me.  Message me to find out how you can receive a free copy.



some of the experiences I write about may make it easier to identify me.  This is ok.  I trust that if anyone discovers my identity they will keep it to themselves.  If you do realize that you  know me, I am completely comfortable and welcome you acknowledging me and my struggle in person.

I read the chapters, it was good for me to read them but I need some more. Does anyone know any classic mussar books other than the ones above? I want to get orchot tzaddikim in person but I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it that good without it being in an artscroll format where it's translation and commentary and elucidation. And the last I checked, artscroll doesn't have that out yet. I know that feldhiem does, but I really need it with commentary and elucidation and from the description of that book on feldhiem, I think it's just a translation. 

I just want to look into general topics that deal with the gravity of the service of Hashem to be aware of it and how to improve in it, that's what mussar is defined like in my head and maybe that's wrong but this is what I'm looking for. Any sefarim suggestions would be appreciated.
