ACE THE WORKPLACE
Working hard but success
still seems a far-off dream?
Get rid of the following habits to achieve desired results
Bad habits die hard. And
while having one doesn't necessarily make you a failure, you should work on
dropping some of your worst vices. Some bad habits could cause others to view
you as unsuccessful, while others may be indicative of a larger problem in your
career and life. Here are the ones you should avoid:
WASTING YOUR WEEKENDS
You might strive to be
put-together Monday through Friday, but if you're a total mess on the weekends,
that could come back to haunt you. If you spend your days off overeating,
wasting money, and putting off tasks, it will be difficult for you to catch up
on Monday.
ZONING OUT
Spacing out can sometimes
be a gift. But this habit can also really hurt you in the workplace.Listening
is an important skill. No one trusts the competence of anyone who's constantly
zoned out.
COMPLAINING
Complaining is like a
competitive sport for some people. Everyone has gripes. Sometimes, it's good to
air your grievances and make yourself heard. Just don't be the person who never
stops grumbling about trivial issues.
GOSSIPING
Gossip is a mixed bag.
Sometimes it's necessary; some employers even encourage it. Most of the time,
though, it's a nasty and distracting habit. By gossiping, your empire of
rumours could come crashing down on you or you might alienate your co-workers
and bosses.
SPEAKING WITHOUT THINKING
It's important to be
authentic. But don't be the person that blurts out whatever's on your mind.
It's an annoying habit that can make you seem rude, awkward, and uninformed.
LYING
Be honest. It's easy to
fall into the trap of weaving small lies that stretch into bigger ones.Break
that habit.
PROCRASTINATING
Indecisiveness could lose
you time, money, and even the respect of those around you.
OVERSPENDING
If money i s a lways
burning a hole in your pocket, you're setting yourself up for longterm
financial woes.Saving money is crucial for your financial future.
CONFORMING
Conforming was a survival
tactic in middle school, but you're an adult with a career now. Stop caring
about what others think. Do what works for you.
HOLDING GRUDGES
It's normal to dislike and
distrust certain people. But holding intense grudges is just a waste of your
valuable time and energy. Also, if you express these feelings to other people,
you run the risk of sounding vengeful.
ALWAYS RUNNING LATE
In your career, tardin e s
s c a n' t be excused. Showi ng up late makes you lo ok careless and
unreliable.
FIDGETING
Fidgeting might actually be
good for you, but it also makes you look anxious and antsy, which, in turn,
might make your colleagues nervous and uncomfortable
