You are not lazy. One saying that I sometimes need to say to myself, that helps me get out of bed is "Make muscles move" (MMM). If I can just make my muscles move enough to put one foot on the floor, it helps me get out of bed.
Regarding getting things done- If I think of all the things I need to do, it is sometimes too overwhelming and nothing gets done. It helps me if I just think of one thing to do at a time, and then I don't get overwhelmed. And it also helps me to think how nice it will feel to have a clean organized room, or how nice I will feel after a shower or after a walk, or to think of the benefits of doing the work that needs to be done.
