1. 7 Bad Habits That Are
Killing Your Productivity

2. Sometimes it’s hard to
focus and be productive,
especially when there are
too many distractions
around the office.
These 7 bad habits
may be stoping you
from working at your
best.

3. 1. Multitasking
Avoid doing several tasks at the same time.
You need to focus only on one task, to be
able to do it well. Having a task list is a great
way to collect what you need to do later.

4. Checking your email every five minutes
is an unnecessary distraction.
It should be set to auto-refresh every
30-60 minutes.
2. Checking email often

5. I
can’t
stop,
I
have
to
do
this is wrong!
Taking a 5 minute break every hour is
the best. You need to relax and
regroup your thoughts.
3. Not taking breaks

6. Having a plan is productive, but doing a
meticulous plan can be bad because
things don’t always go exactly as a
planned. Make a well organised yet flexible
outline of what needs to be done and
adjust it along the way.
4. Over Planning

7. Unless you work with Social Media, this is the
worst for your productivity, especially if you’re
always connected. The constant status updates
will most likely distract you and break your
concentration. Leave it for your break time.
5. Following Social Media

8. In order to be able to focus, you should
adjust your work environment to your
best performance.
Avoid interruptions when you need to
get work done.
6. Chaotic Work Place

9. Meetings should be saved for essencial
group decision making, not just status
updates. A good task manager will be
able to replace these meetings with real-
time updates of what everyone is doing.
7. Too many status meetings
