This year, resolve to be more productive at work by getting rid of bad work habits. Here is a look at 10 common ones to ditch:
- Taking frequent “breaks” to browse the internet throughout the workday.
- Putting off important tasks until the end of the day, instead of tackling them first thing.
- Scheduling unnecessary meetings when matters could be settled with an email or phone call.
- “Rewarding yourself” for being productive by taking an extra break or letting yourself dawdle.
- Sleeping in and hitting the snooze button rather than getting right to work in the morning.
- Forgetting to arrange your tasks in order to importance and tackling them in that order.
- Planning your day so that there’s no time left for last-minute tasks that come up.
- Failing to plan at all. Often, this results in you getting a lot less done.
- Using your phone while falling asleep. The light exposure keeps you from getting restful sleep, which makes work.
- Trying to multitask. Very few people are more productive when multitasking than when tackling one task at a time.
