The idea of ‘lazy girl jobs’ has been trending on social media over the past few weeks as a playful way of pushing back against burnout culture and the idea that millennials need to work long hours and endlessly hustle to get ahead in life. The concept involves taking on low-effort jobs which can help to supplement an income without spiraling into exhaustion or stress. This might involve working at a coffee shop, driving for a delivery service, writing blog posts, or taking on freelance work which can be completed in small chunks.
The goal is to spread the idea that hard work is not synonymous with long hours or burnout, and that it is possible to be both entrepreneurial and well-rested. The concept has resonated with many millennials who are struggling to balance work with relaxation. It has the potential to inspire a new generation of people to take on low-stakes work which can help with financial security without sacrificing mental health.
