Before you can cultivate those good habits, though, you might also want to look into the ones that holding you back and hinder your success…

In my working experience I’ve seen a few, ones that always pop-up in the workplace (just sharing my observation😊). Which ones am I talking about?

Ø Poor communication

Ø Being disorganized

Ø Tardiness

Ø Negativity

For all of you who value your time and the time of others than: Poor communication can waste time, lead to mistakes, and cause your co-workers to become frustrated with you. It can even cost your company money and have severe impact on productivity.
George Bernard Shaw once said, “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” My take on which aspects you might wanna work on:

• Not responding promptly to emails and business-related text messages and phone calls.
• Others offering you constructive criticism, but you make excuses instead of being grateful someone else wants to help you improve your work.
• Often finding yourself caught up in arguments with others.

If you’re disorganized, you might miss important details, fritter time away, and lag behind your co-workers when you’re engaged in a collaborative project. Below I’ve listed some signs that show there might be room for improvement of your organization skills:

• Your workspace being cluttered, as sorts are floating around, too. You have trouble finding things at your desk or in the files on your computer.
• Lacking a system for planning out your days and weeks. You always tend to fly by the seat of your pants.
• Often showing up to meetings unprepared.

Even though things sometimes happen and it’s inevitable that you’ll be late once in a while. However, if you frequently find that you show up to meetings five or 10 minutes late, you need to make some adjustments. Tardiness is seen as unprofessional

It’s time for an attitude check! Not only attitudes are contagious, but a negative one could also cause yourself unnecessary stress & more, e.g. premature burnout. Some years ago I felt challenged and as a result wanted to collect my thoughts on:

• Am I often complaining, even about things that no one else seems to have a problem with?
• Am I looking for things to be unhappy about?
• Do my colleagues and peers seem in a bad mood when they’re around me?

Am I wasting my time dwelling on problems that aren’t problems at all?

This reflection did make me wanting to break some habits, which I found challenging. Out of interest I started to read about habits & routines (and the great potential they offer for optimization!) and also developed a framework to identify where the potential was in my own life & more!
