    7 Bad Habits That

    Keep Your Dreams


    Out Of Reach
    (And how to break them)

    →
    Chris Donnelly
    1. Persistent
    Procrastination
    Consistently delaying tasks until the last
    minute solves nothing
    It only stresses you more and it means
    that less stuff gets done
    It can also quite easily lead into a cycle of
    negative thinking, which can be hard to
    break free of.

    How to break:
    As soon as you realise you’re doing it,
    immediately break the task down into
    smaller chunks, and take it step by step.

    2. Doomscrolling
    Addiction
    We’ve all been there. You go to take a 5-
    minute work break, and before you know it,
    you’re 30 minutes into scrolling TikTok.
    It is so bad because it’s one of the most
    productivity-draining psychological
    addictions of all.
    For this, you have to break free by dealing
    with the root of the problem.

    How to break:
    Use an app like Opal to break the cycle by
    blocking distracting apps during work hours.

    3. Streaming Services
    Don’t get me wrong, we all need to switch
    off from time to time…
    I’ve made it well documented about my
    investment into the Walking Dead lately!
    However, it shouldn’t get in the way of
    pursuing your hobbies or passions.

    How to break:
    Carve out a specific slot every day for
    building something that’s just YOURS.

    4. Checking Emails
    Emails are supposed to facilitate our work,
    not take us away from it.
    Yet, so many people lose productivity
    because of their emails.
    It can be tempting to tick off every
    notification and respond right away…

    How to break:
    Mute those notifications and check your
    emails at specified breaks.

    5. Missing The Present
    Moment
    Everyday, we have multiple aspects
    demanding our attention at once.
    As a result, we end up only half paying
    attention to any given thing.
    It’s damaging to your relationships if
    people don’t feel listened to.

    How to break:
    Spend time developing your active
    listening, truly listen and give your full
    attention.

    6. Moral Licensing
    This is essentially a cognitive bias that
    occurs when someone who has behaved
    morally in the past behaves less morally
    later on.
    It’s the exact reason you might finish a big
    task ahead of time and slack on the rest of
    your projects for the rest of the week.

    How to break:
    Set out and understand exactly what
    needs to get done within any given week,
    and don’t use up all your energy by
    Wednesday!

    7. Overspending
    This is a classic when someone gets a
    new job or pay rise.
    You spend money on things you can’t
    really afford or need.
    This behaviour can quite easily lead to
    debt and missed opportunities to save or
    invest.

    How to break:
    Create good spending habits and have a
    monthly budget that you follow.
