Top 10 Bad Habits To Stop Doing

(Before It's News)

Here is a list of ten habits that we all need to break. These habits may not apply to everyone, but they do affect at least a third of our population.

 

10. Stop Multi-Tasking

Start prioritizing and focusing on quality rather than quantity. It’s also time to start to work smart and not hard. Or the very least you can do is spare others from always hearing your complaints about how busy you are. It gets very annoying after awhile. Our recommendation to stop multi-tasking is to cut the unnecessary things out. Cutting somethings out of your life entirely can be difficult, inconvenient and even plain depressing, but well worth the long term benefits.

 

9. Stop Sitting Around All Day

Use the extra time you have to make away from your desk more often and start sweating it out. You’re not required to do any intense exercises. Just move more often and get your heart rates rising. If you have a hard time finding what to do, try out a chair workout by Donovan Green or the Scientific 7 minuteworkout. You can do it, we have faith in you.

 

8. Stop Trying To Be Perfect

Embrace the fact that you make flaws like every other human being on this earth. You can also turn your mistakes into something positive and beneficial for you and your goals.

 

7. Stop Overdoing Your Strengths

Too much confidence in yourself can make you aggressive looking or too arrogant in the eyes of friends and family. Likewise, too much optimism can make you look complacent. Simply look at ways you can develop your weaknesses to complement your current strengths.

 

6. Stop Confusing Confidence with Competence

Start recognizing that a show of confidence can just be to compensate for a lack of characteristic or skill. Likewise, start to recognize how that subdued, shy co-worker can be more knowledgeable in some many ways than your self-assured friend. Create an environment that allows you to share a virtual high five within your team mate.

 

5. Stop Using Awful PowerPoint Presentations

This reminds me of my university professors who lecture us word by word from their PowerPoint. Why do I need to go to lectures when I can simply read the PowerPoints? If you need help to create great presentations, check out YouTube and some of the How To guide videos to perfecting your computerskills. There is also Prezi that puts presentations at whole different ball game.

 

4. Stop Procrastinating

Humans like to think that they are clever. Yet those magnificent, mighty brains that allow us to split the atom and touch the moon are the same stupid brains that can’t start an assignment until the day before it’s due. Give yourself that needed boost to start and finish things immediately by looking for some simple resources of inspiration to get you started. Download the Procrastination app if you need some tips.
