I think it's very healthy to not lie... But as a 37 year old I was raised (rather firmly) with the understanding that "I didn't feel motivated to start" was a fully unacceptable "lazy" excuse.
For me, spinning some bullshit reason is so second nature that I'll do it before I realize it might be easier to just be transparent. To further complicate things I'm such a high achiever that I can usually dig myself out of the hole before eating any real pain so... I rarely eat serious shit for my lies.
If you can be honest I think that's by far the better tactic.
Well tbf I'm brutally honest and it hasn't really helped me.
Nah, it's a good habit... It's easier to slightly temper your expression than be more direct and non-shit managers (I am one) will appreciate your candor because it let's us plan and respond better.
Basically high level procrastination.
