"7 Habits I Avoid to Become Highly Productive" ๐
(Cutting these things helped me boost my productivity.)
๐งต Thread Time: ๐
While most people try to become more productive by adding things, Iโve discovered it's far easier to start by subtracting what kills productivity in the first place.
If youโre ready to skyrocket your productivity to get more done than ever before, avoid these 7 specific habits:
1. Focusing on Minor Details, Not Results ๐ซ
Productivity is about how much you create and deliver; not just finishing busywork.
Donโt overfocus on minor details like having the perfect calendar.
Measure your results and your work will improve.
2. Checking Devices First Thing in the Morning ๐ซ
Avoid checking your phone, emails, and social media first thing in the morning, which puts you in โreactionโ mode.
Instead, take a step toward your goals before touching them.
3. Allowing Distractions During Work ๐ซ
Multitasking and switching tasks ruin your productivity.
Instead, minimize distractions while you work and remove clutter from your workspace.
4. Working Until Exhaustion ๐ซ
Donโt work until youโre exhausted; youโll burn out and had nothing left for the next day.
Instead, stop when you feel your productivity decline and take breaks throughout your day to conserve energy.
5. Working Without Priorities ๐ซ
Prioritize your tasks based on importance, not just urgency, so you can maximize the results you get from each workday.
