20 habits that kill our productivity

20 habits that kill our productivity

• Yore distracted by everything. By extraneous stimuli can not escape, but who ever said that we should pay attention to them? If you call, write or knock on the door, it does not mean that you need to immediately throw everything you are doing at this point. For anything that is not related to work tasks, there are breaks.

• You have no purpose. Turn your dreams into extremely specific and well-defined tasks. Until you do, they will remain dreams, about the unprofitability of which you can from time to time good povzdyhat.

• You have too many goals. On the other hand, there is no need to plan more than you can actually accomplish. Still, it will not be possible to pay enough attention to each task, so there is a great risk that this idea will go to dust. And then, we don't care about quantity, do we care about quality?

• To procrastinate. The longer we put things off, the less chance we'll ever figure it out. Just believe me: it is better to make and rejoice at last, than once again to throw business into a long box and to indulge in suffering about it.

• Replace real life with TV. If the vicissitudes of life of the heroes of TV series and reality show excite you more than what happens to friends and family, it's time to change something.

• Let's forget about regular meals. Yes, sometimes there is such a blockage that there is no time even for a snack, not to mention a full dinner. That's just the adrenal glands do not understand until we give up eating in favor of other cases, they are working hard, spending little energy. Sooner or later, it's bound to end in a burnout.

• You can't keep track of expenses. People whose financial Affairs in disarray, the chances of a normal life, there is absolutely no. Control of income and expenditure in terms of importance is comparable to health care, so do not neglect all this accounting.

• You spend time on other people's problems. The only person who has complete control over your life is yourself. Your time is the greatest value, so you should treat it with respect.

• Don't write down important. Keeping records helps us not to drown in the flow of what we should or want to do. Plus, it's a great way to relieve the brain for better concentration.

• You don't have a daily routine. No, it is not about a strict hourly basis. This refers to the morning and evening rituals: they set the tone for the day and become a reliable point of support.

• Work without interruption. Your body and mind need a rest — a fact not subject to discussion. As soon as you feel tired, take a break. Much better to take a break and gather my thoughts than to stay soon exhausted.

• Work in multitasking mode. Several cases in parallel-a bad idea: load a lot, and the result of all this will be so-so. Each task has its time. This approach not only frees the head, but also gives a wonderful sense of fulfillment.

• You can save your household chores for later. What is the point in hard work, if it does not leave time for life? In the most infernal avral make sure that solved at least a minimum of domestic issues: bills paid, dishes washed and Laundry washed. In short, your home should not turn into a visual demonstration of how hard its owner lives.

• Take on too much. Ambition or excitement gain the upper hand over you and make immediately grasp at every new idea? Let's try to put it off for a while. Think carefully, evaluate the existing obligations and decide whether to take up the case at all.

• Strive for perfection. Oh Yes, the notorious mythical perfection. And because we know that it simply does not exist in nature, but somehow, again and again and always want everything to be done perfectly. A great way to take time that can be spent on more useful things.

• To abandon decision-making. Complex solutions are not just called complex. But if you do not make a choice, it is sure to do for you, and not the fact that the result you like.

• To obtain unnecessary information. Confused suppresses even more than the huge mountains of rubbish around. Save one rule: one e-mail, one settlement and one savings account. Limit the flow of incoming information: it is only necessary to unsubscribe from unnecessary mailings, as soon as there will be time for important things.

• To neglect your health. All our ambitions and aspirations do not have the slightest sense when we run out of power. Eat healthy food, exercise regularly, and most importantly — at any cost provide yourself with the necessary daily rate of sleep.

• To quit something halfway through. Divide each task into several small steps. This approach will help to cope even with the most seemingly impossible cases. Iron rule: the last 10% of the work always takes 90% of the effort, so keep this in mind when planning.

• Don't admit mistakes. Denying our guilt, or putting it on someone else, will in no way improve our lives, nor will it help us achieve our goals. Error is always a lesson. Grasp it and go further.
