Usually when it comes to bad habits, just remember about smoking, excessive consumption of alcohol, sweets or overeating. But in fact, all of us in varying degrees, characterized by at least 10 bad habits that we do not notice. And yet, in many respects they are reflected in our self-esteem and the ability to achieve their goals.

1. Ruthless / frequent self-criticism: Perfectionism - the main enemy of this productivity. In an effort to "do your best" can be months not budge, because the front page of the new site seems to be not enough for you the ideal; the new text does not seem enough stylistically; selected gym - convenient enough, etc. Besides, the eternal "I could do it much better, than done "," I could make... "and other similar" could "turn us into people with latent complex loser. You could become millionaire, but did not; let's us see who you have become and for what you can praise yourself right now (by the way, it is appropriate to recall recent post about slovah- "blockers").

2. "Jamming" problemsEradication of internal conflict and stress often becomes the simplest and most destructive form, "I go sing." As a result, instead of keeping their health and natural proportions of your body you acquire body fat, chronic disease and sedentary lifestyle with another plate, "vkusnyashek" before TV.
3. Workaholism instead of productive work: The deeper / stronger your problem - the greater the desire to "bury" them away from the work (I know whereof I speak: he often prevent similar). Workaholics seem his superiors / managers priceless shots of projects, because they are able to pull "for himself and for the guy" for a long time and even receive from such a situation, a "high." The only question is how long you have enough, and at what point you will pass or fail the nerves health in general (not Remember that most workaholics office leads a sedentary lifestyle, and this will inevitably degrade the performance of the heart, kidneys, stomach, blood vessels, spine).
4. Desire to please / please everyone: Everyone likes only the bill of $ 100. But we are still trying to improve our image and external image: select only the best photos to social networks, seek only the best and "loud" project, the girls spend a lot of money on expensive jewelry and cosmetics. Instead, it would be better to learn more new things for themselves; spend more time with family and friends; like myself in the mirror in the morning (not mask the dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep with tons of "plaster", and the extra 5 kg of weight - the super-narrow jeans).
5. View TV shows instead of reading: Time for a good book (which develops your imagination gives you new knowledge, practical advice and replenishes your vocabulary) you as always "not enough"; but you know what happened to Max Black last week than over the last series The Good Wife and criticize writers for season tightened Revenge. You can justify at least a little, if you're watching TV shows in English, simultaneously improving their language skills. If you're just asking for rutrekere for the regular portion voiced in Russian serial "bubble gum" - time for you to think about books.
6. Habit linger late into the night: I confess, I suffer very similar. "A very interesting film," "entertaining book," "do not want to sleep," a late dinner and other such reasons lead to the fact that we go to bed the same day in which are going to wake up. As a result, even a 9 hours of sleep you can not save; and weakness in the morning becoming commonplace.
7. disorderly nutrition: Again, there is no time to go to lunch, but because you are "shut off the" coffee and a packet of biscuits on the job? Throw a line job where you earn to 30 years, chronic gastritis, problems with pressure and tendency to diabetes. Slaves on the Turkish galleys did not need food and rest; You live in the XXI century, when people must necessarily be hour lunch break. Well, breakfast - the most important meal for your body. Cigarettes, coffee and mint chewing gum in the concept of "breakfast" does not include (and yes, a girl, you may not lose weight per gram, if instead of breakfast will be 1 to smoke a cigarette on the way to work).
8. Habit be endless to-do lists: You know, as now it looks like my address book? It has a place in the list of cases only 1 day: for tomorrow. Schedules for the quarter, the endless "motivational lists", "desires of the board" and other piles of goals and objectives for the month / quarter / year / end of life is irrevocably gone. To cope with the objectives and purposes in the current situation - that's what matters. Filling out the list for 1 day, you will see the end of the month, how much did. Filling out the list for the month / quarter ahead - see how many you have not been able to do and fall into sadness and depression from what you again "caught" procrastination, you have not been able, etc. As a result - we get the habit of ruthless self-criticism (see. above) and instead of a small "stick" for his success - a big "stick" for all unfulfilled.
9. The accumulation of unnecessary things: Need 2 smartphone? And the old jacket that you do not go? A 10 pairs of jeans? A 25 t-shirts? Girls, and you need "here is the pair of shoes, because I already have 2 of these, but there is light green, and I want in the future to buy a light green dress"? Buy a dress - will be looking for shoes. Do not carry 10 out of 20 pairs of jeans - give needy / sell. And in general - maybe it is time to find the application useless / old things?
10. Inattention to relatives and friends"Mom, I'm busy right now." "Grandma, I'll call you back later" (and does not call back for 3 days). "Let's play tomorrow, because today the Pope should make the report." The familiar phrase? There will come a day when you no one will say these words. Why are you still neglect the most precious people in your life for the sake of solving problems / issues that can wait? Half an hour of your time - it's not so much for those who do not have your account in exchange for money or "tick" in the project list.

I just made a small list. You can add to it or change at their discretion. But it would be extremely useful if you think about in order to delete from this list at least one bad habit to the end of the day.
