​​If you’re new to my community, a warm welcome to you! I’m so happy you’ve decided to join us!

Happy Friday!

Well, it’s been an interesting start to the day here in Central Ontario. We actually woke up to wet snow! Thankfully it’s stopped now, but it’s still cool and damp.  And it was a good reason to make soup for breakfast!

Here’s what I have for you this morning…

Today’s Read: 5 Habits That Hurt Productivity

Are you constantly scratching your head at the end of the day, wondering why you feel like you worked so much to get nowhere? The good news is that you are not alone – I’m right there with you. But unfortunately, there is bad news too.

The bad news is the habits you have adopted over time are having a negative effect on your productivity. It doesn’t matter how busy you are. If you are not doing the right tasks to complete the job, you will never get it done.

Wondering what those habits are?

Habit #1 – Multitasking

Most tasks require your undivided attention to get done and get it done well. Stop multitasking and expecting too much from yourself at all given times.

Habit #2 – Avoiding Technology or Using Too Much

Are you still keeping track of your bills, inventory, and tasks on paper? Utilize technology where appropriate but be sure not to overdo it. Technology can be great until it becomes a distraction instead.

Habit #3 – Going with the Flow

You’d think that going with the flow would be a good thing, wouldn’t you? And it is for some things, but not necessarily for getting things done. Routines and schedules really do make your day easier and help guide you in the right direction.

Habit #4 – Poor Sleep and Diet Choices

Diet and exercise routine have a direct effect on how you perform throughout your day. Your work, business, relationships, and mental state are all affected by what you do and eat, negatively and positively.

Habit #5 – Unclear Communication

Not being able to communicate clearly leads to too much back and forth and confusion and takes away the time you need to get work done efficiently.

I know I’m guilty of a few of these “bad” habits. Being aware of them is the first step to changing them so that you can build habits that have a positive effect on your productivity instead of a negative one.

And now, here are today’s goodies
