BAD HABITS TO BREAK TO BE MORE PRODUCTIVE
6:54 PM
Admit it. We all have bad habits in our everyday activities.
We tend to be lazy and slack off. Either we do it most of the time or occasionally, we all
did that.
However, these bad habits keep us from being productive, and we end up getting
in trouble, most of the times. It adds stress to our already stressful lives,
and time management adds another challenge.
To improve our ability to get things done, we need to break
these bad habits for us to be productive.
Bad Habits is to Bad Productivity, and Bad Productivity is
to Bad Habits.
It’s time to break these bad habits and free ourselves from
stress, additional effort, and sloth.
Here are some of the most common bad habits that affect our
productivity:
Multi-Tasking
Some of us think that this is a great way to
do more tasks in one setting. Multitasking may seem like a good idea, but
this often leads to unproductiveness. Many things get started, yet nothing is
done on time. It is best to concentrate on the most important task first,
before starting something else.
Social Media While Working
One of the most common bad
habits nowadays is to check our social media accounts while doing our tasks.
This habit breaks our concentration whenever there’s a new post or
notification. Keep your smart phones on silent mode, and log out from any
social media sites whenever you’re on your desktop.
Unclean Work Area
Having an unclean work or study area
most likely equates to unorganized thoughts. Your concentration will certainly
break seeing all the clutter in your area. It is best to work or study in a
clean and spotless desk.
Eating Snacks While Working/Studying
Another bad habit
that breaks your concentration is eating snacks while working/studying. Most likely you would get so consumed with
what you’re eating, instead of what you are working. It is best to have a
healthy meal or snack before working or studying.
Procrastination
This is one of the most common bad habits we
all have. We tend to think that our task is supposed to be done, and think
other fun things as well, or think what’s on the tube right now. Make it a
habit to do self-reinforcement by talking positively to yourself. Make sure
also, that you have got to walk the talk. Overcoming it takes a long while, but
we also must enforce discipline into our own actions.
Poor prioritization
Some of us would start working on
what’s on top of our files our desk, leaving the most important task behind
since it’s on the most bottom part of the file. It is best to scan all the
tasks that you need to do and make a checklist and rate them on its priority.
Before breaking all of the bad habits, access yourself first
what bad habits you currently have and what habits you need to break to improve
your productivity.
It is time you replace your bad habits with better ones.
