"Can't be bothered"
Hi, English-speaking people - a cheeky wee question for you:
What would be the future tense of "I can't be bothered"? 'Cause, well, "I won't be bothered" sounds more like a firm decision/objection. I mean a situation when, for instance, you know that tomorrow you'll be back home very late and you can already tell you will be too tired/demotivated to study for the next day.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I can't be bothered is rather like a mild form of ' I don't want to' . So, you could say ' Tomorrow I won't want to'. There is also 'Tomorrow I won't be able to be bothered to ' but this sounds very odd, and I don't think anyone would say it.
