Other words that were top of mind when I was formulating this example sentence were forslug, akrasia, and abulia. Would it be interesting to combine some of these terms into a single example sentence, or at least a few of them, such as accidie and forslug?

Accidie - Sloth, slothfulness, especially as inducing general listlessness and apathy.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/accidie

Forslug - To lose, neglect, or destroy by sluggishness.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/forslug

Akrasia - (philosophy, uncountable) Lack of physical or (especially) mental strength; poor willpower; also, the tendency to act contrary to one's better judgment; (countable) an instance of this.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/akrasia

Abulia - (psychiatry) Absence of willpower or decisiveness, especially as a symptom of mental illness http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/abulia
