Finally I want to say that idleness is an enemy of progress, growth and success so in this year 2025 let us do everything possible to make sure that we fight laziness and idleness and channel our energies into something productive so we can create value for ourselves because the level of value a person or nation commands is a function of the problems that a person or nation has solutions to

I agree that its the enemy of progress but there are circumstances like lack of opportunities that make people idle
Another one is physical maladies and depression, but if you are capable and have a goal to achieve, then you have to take action.
Motivation is a big factor for people to take action, and if they are in a surrounding, where there are a lot of activities and support, idleness will banish, as idleness will have no place on one's mind and body if there are activities.

However, focus on your goals and priorities instead. Know your strategies and plans, so that even if you don’t maximize your actions, still you are able to hit your target that would lead to great productivity and prosperity.

Indeed, there are days you're active but don't achieve much. Maybe you're trying to resolve an issue, but it's not getting resolved, and you find yourself spending time on one thing without making progress. But at least you knew where you were heading, wanted to achieve something, and gave your best shot. That's better than not trying at all.

What matters is listing out goals, priorities, and tasks, and working actively towards achieving them. It's not just about being busy, but about achieving something. Yes, I believe individuals, communities, and societies can make progress if they focus on what matters. It can be fixing the economy as a country or starting a business that supports the community as an individual or organization.

Even if you try for a day and don't achieve anything, keep trying. If you give it a shot for one week, you'll surely achieve something. As they say, "An idle man is the devil's workshop." It's better to be busy, focused, and working towards a goal than to be idle and do nothing. Let's keep trying and not give ourselves reason to do nothing at all.

you can be pretty active all day and still not productive.

I think what matter most is how the society is solving problem that's needed to be solved, only then I'd call that productive.

although I kinda agreed that idleness and being lazy just gonna bring about economic ruins, because nobody is solving problem, nobody is giving solution to improve life and economy will just stagnate.

Idleness refers to the state of being idle, inactive etc when it comes to economic prosperity and growth idleness is one thing that fights against it from the times of old till now any individual or even country that has had economic power is one that was not idle but always active engaging in one activity or the other that will be helpful to the economic growth of that person or country

Every country in the world is engaged in one activity or the other, none of them are idle. The difference between the rich and poor nations is the kind of activities they are engaged in. Poor nations engage mostly in extractive production. They usually sell raw materials to developed nations. Develop or wealthy nations have the required technology and skilled manpower to convert these raw materials to finished good and sell them at a higher price to poor nations.

Idleness is the fastest route to poverty. But if you want to be more productive, work smart and not hard. Ensure you are conversant with current technology or skills that will make you work faster and better. Strive to be creative and innovative in your area of specialization.

Being active still cannot guarantee productivity and prosperity, but at some reasons, it will only push you to commit wrong actions because you acquired wrong information that will lead to wrong decision making in life. Thus instead of making you productive, it will only lead you to wasting your time and efforts, and definitely wasting your money and resources.

However, focus on your goals and priorities instead. Know your strategies and plans, so that even if you don’t maximize your actions, still you are able to hit your target that would lead to great productivity and prosperity.

It's simple logic that productivity is what leads to prosperity and wealth creation and this is one universal principle that applies to all both on an individual basis and also for nations looking at the present world that we find ourselves the economic super powers are all producing economies the countries considered as poor are the lazy once who has not been able to engage into production so they depends on the countries that produce and so they become more lazy as the day go by

Op, haven gone through your post, it is sounding as an advice on the concluding part that people should not be docile or idle like you rightly said, that they should be more productive, which is a good one,

But one thing I would like you to recognize the fact that, there is literally no country on the surface of the earth that is not productive, but the major question is, what are you producing and what is the quality?,
Because if you produce goods that are highly available in neighboring countries, there possibility that you might not be exporting that product because others have it within their domain in abundance, because most times export is what brings the foreign currency into your country to help boost your local production, so the goods and the quality of goods you produce is essential on the international market, so hence you want to go into production you should check and do your market survey on where you have comparative advantage.

As an individual, you can be active, not idle, but engaged in the wrong activities that, even with all your engagement, will not lead to any sort of economic progress.

This is why you must be selectively involved and pick the activities that you choose to give your time to because some activities may seem productive, but in the actual sense they are not productive, just a waste of time.
