10 Habits Ruining Your Productivity 1. Checking your phone immediately after waking up There is a reason this one is first because it affects a large number of people. You don't wake up and the first thing is checking your phone. Especially when the discipline stop after a glance is not there. You move from when social media platform to another. 2. Multitasking Your brain isn't as good at it as you think. Don't stress it out, you would burn easily. Take things step by step. 3. Waiting to "feel motivated" If you decide to do this, just know you would wait forever. You don't need any motivation to start. 4. Constant notifications Reminders of things constantly. It distracts you just as much as you checking your phone. 5. Starting too many things at once This is almost the same as multitasking but now this is beginning different things (projects, businesses) all at once 6. Not planning your day Don't just wake up and decide to spend your day as it would be. Create a plan this would increase productivity 7. Spending hours on low-priority tasks You need to know your priorities. You can give the same time to two things with different priorities. One has to be higher and the other lower. Giving time to low priority tasks is a waste of time and resource. 8. Perfectionism Done is often better than perfect. We can't be perfect but striving for it is a good goal. 9. Sleeping too little Sleep is an essential booster. You need enough of it to function as well as possible. 10. Comparing your progress to everyone else's This is a productivity killer present in nearly every individual. Stop comparing. We are diverse. We can't have the same success story. The biggest productivity killer? Being busy without being effective. Which habit are you guilty of? 👀
