"It is a common fallacy among capitalists that anarchists are lazy. They are right in that anarchists reject work—that is, the compulsory devotion of life to production and consumption, the prostitution of our labor in return for a small percentage of what it is worth. Instead, anarchists voluntarily pursue their own interests, 'working' on projects that they find personally fulfilling, creative, or supportive of others. Many devote their lives to expertise in a particular field, proving that the desires to create, excel, and to devote themselves tirelessly to projects are not unique to societies which force people to work. Without the need to increase production and profits, of course, most anarchists only 'work' for a few hours a day, dedicating the rest to leisure."
