7 Habits I Avoid to Become Highly Productive

People who are highly effective deliver their jobs to the rest of the country. They work through their uncertainty and have the confidence to make it happen. Although it’s important to concentrate on the process, don’t forget about the consequences.

What do you want to accomplish? Review to see how the results are advancing against your targets. Your efficiency can skyrocket until you start working on your performance.

2. Examining Electronics First Thing in the Morning

Within the first hour of their day, 88 percent of people check their cell, and 55 percent check their email before going to work.

Despite this, it’s one of the worst things you might do with your concentration, success, or inspiration. Starting the day through consuming meaningless content such as social networking, reading inbox, and listening to texts places you in a reactionary state: you’re already bombarded by stressors and urgent activities until you’ve really had an opportunity to focus on your own objectives (or put on your pants).

It seems to be a harmless glimpse, but you can’t do anything about it when you’re not at work; it’ll only sit in your head and keep you from being present.

Rather, extremely active individuals take strides against their priorities before enabling the pressures of the day to get in the way. They devote their morning’s peak analytical, emotional, and physical energies to their most important tasks, rather than reading Instagram or watching the tv.

Don’t simply “work harder” to stop distractions first thing in the morning. When you go to bed, put your phone on Airplane Mode. Set your phone to Do Not Disturb mode for the first hour of the day so you don’t get any updates. If you integrate it into your everyday life, you’ll be able to break the habit easily.
