slothfully
In sluggish fashion
Slothfully means in a lazy, sluggish, or idle manner—moving or acting without energy or urgency: He slothfully scrolled through his phone while deadlines piled up.
The word carries moral weight from the biblical sin of sloth, suggesting not just slowness but culpable laziness.
