Four Bad Work Habits You Have To Ditch
We all have quirks that keep us from living our best productive workday. Whether it is aimlessly staring out of the window or indulging in too much office water-cooler gossip, we all need to take a step back + evaluate how effective we are in the workplace. Here are four on-the-clock habits that could be holding you back.
Skipping breaks + lunches
An effective day is tasks oriented. From fiftieth floor, CEOs, and stay-at-home parents alike, once you finish a task, "celebrate" by taking a short mental break and evaluating your next step. Have an intentional lunch. Sit down, preferably near a window, eliminate screen time, and enjoy the textures and flavors of your meal. A hectic workday demands a serene meal environment.
Procrastinating
Procrastination is not a word in the Just Aneissa vocabulary. Waiting until the last minute can lead to anxiety. As the wait time increases, an overall sense of defeat creeps in. Pressed time does not lead to creativity; it leads to chaos, haste, and the possibility of disappointing results. Stay ahead of the game by establishing clear, obtainable goals and following through.

Avoiding emails
It is crucial to establish a midmorning email hour. Unsubscribe to emails you no longer wish to receive. Reply to emails that need a response, and clean out your inbox daily. A digital detox is vital. It keeps your phone + computer storage low, and it helps you maintain a sense of control with incoming coupons, news, and information.
Creating an uncomfortable work environment
Understand where relationship boundaries are between coworkers and superiors. It is healthy to know a few details about the people you work with every day. It is also in your best interest to leave a bit a mystery between you and others in your work environment. Do not be a stranger; keep the atmosphere peaceful and positive.
Make the most of your workday. Complete your tasks with ease, and slowly transition from a laser-focused work mode to the best version of yourself with your family. Whether you are in an office setting or the comfort of your own home, smooth, productive days lead to a pleasant, well-rounded family atmosphere.
