4 Things You Should Stop Doing At Work

Video Transcription

We all have bad habits that we get into, (I may or may not know someone who likes eating candy right before I… erm , sorry “they” go to bed). Some habits are okay, but you should really work on some of these aspects of your personality instead of holding onto them. Here are four things you should stop doing at work.

1. Stop procrastinating. It’s important to stay on top of your work and not get distracted by other things. Make a schedule for yourself and get to work. Also, get enough sleep and stay positive about your work.
2. Stop criticizing others. Instead of telling people what to do, share your ideas and inspire them to improve in the way that best suits their circumstances. Remember that no one is perfect and everyone is trying their best. And that includes you!
3. Stop gossiping. I used to love to gossip with my friends. We would get together and make fun of the people we worked with. Gossiping is like a drug: it can be fun and addictive, and it will destroy and ruin relationships and push people away. It’s important to get rid of this habit and spend your time more productively.
4. Stop interrupting others while they’re working. A lot of people do it, but it can be the most frustrating thing in the world. Instead of interrupting others, you can politely ask if they can take a break so you can talk to them about something. Many people are distracted enough while working on something, so ask if they can take a break so you can talk to them about it. This is a better option that interrupting them during their work.
