Joel Snape claims to be lazy, and then goes on to list what he does in a week – including a full-time job, several gym sessions, writing a newsletter and practising the piano (Big, beautiful goals – but can’t be bothered? 11 great productivity tips for lazy people, 10 July). He doesn’t need a productivity regime as much as he needs a dictionary, to find out what the word lazy really means.

• Frome’s answer to Germany’s reuse schemes (‘It needs to stay in the loop’: German reuse schemes turn shopping upside down, 4 July) is to bring your own containers when you shop. Our local independent store sells a wide range of dried goods, oils, vinegar and more. Our own bottles and containers are weighed and then refilled. People drop off containers they don’t need for people who have come without. It works a treat.
