3 Habits That Are Killing Your Productivity

​Believe it or not, most people have already experienced being unproductive and unmotivated. It is really hard to stay productive, especially when experiencing life struggles. One of the ways to get more work done is to identify the habits that kill your productivity. Below are some of the common habits and how you can solve them.

1. Using The Phone Regularly
   While phones are also used at work, they offer many applications that can distract you from accomplishing your tasks. Some people turn on their do not disturb button to focus on their work. Some can still be distracted, even if they switch their phones to silent mode and snooze. 
   
   Most of the time, people also use it before bedtime, reducing the quality of sleep they could have at night. The blue light from electronic devices slows melatonin production, so you stay awake for more time.
   
   To prevent this from happening, set a time when you're just going to use your phone. Some productivity apps can help you by turning them off at your preferred time and only turning them on once done.
   
   
2. Multitasking
   Doing multiple tasks all at once can help you in a good way. But in reality, it's a bad habit and could kill your productivity. Multitasking divides your attention and reduces your quality of work. You tend not to give your best and only be fine with just finishing the task.
   
   Prioritizing your most important task and doing it one at a time is the only way to prevent this from happening. Try to schedule your task every day. 
   
   
3. Doubting Yourself
   Sometimes people think that they are not capable of completing such tasks. However, your employers, managers, or team leaders assign you because you're the most qualified. It delays your decision-making and wastes time thinking of the negativities.
   
   The best way to deal with negative self-talk is to remind yourself of your best attributes. Constantly tell yourself that you can do it and are capable enough. Chin up and be confident.

Conclusion
Whether you like it or not, there are days that you will feel drained and unproductive. Knowing what causes your unproductivity and how to solve it can be your first step to doing more tasks efficiently.
