What "Bad" habits or mindset make you less productive? And how do you fight it?
Sometimes I have a feeling I could use my potential more.
E.g.
Spending too much time on the internet → I could go exercise or read books.
Not taking advantage of relationships in terms of networking → I should socialise more and ask for help (because I do not do that.). 😅
Not being a part of some co-working or so → I could have more friends and we could create some projects.
----------
Are you aware of something in your life that keeps you behind?
How do you overcome it or compensate?

Bad habit since forever: Overthinking.
Try to just get on and take action as best as I can, always reminding myself that even if it doesn't work out, a fail is a lesson learned. 😂

@busmark_w_nika Its relevant to the times. If Einstein or Davinci or Dali lived today. They would spend most of their time on the internet.
@sentry_co We would place bids on OpenSea to trade their NFTs.
One "bad" habit I’ve struggled with is overplanning instead of acting—spending too much time strategizing without taking enough actionable steps. To combat this, I’ve started setting daily, small, actionable goals and using time-blocking to stay on track.
Another mindset that held me back was hesitating to ask for help, thinking I needed to figure everything out alone. Now, I actively reach out to my network for advice and collaborate with others—it’s amazing how much faster progress happens when you leverage the power of community.
@kamran_razzaq ufff feeling you! I like planning. Even the process itself. At some point I was catching myself that it should be a new job position - company planner. Jokes aside: I can recommend you a good book to change a bit the mindset about goals setting. Check https://www.amazon.com/NLP-Workb...
I see people around are mentioning procrastination as the main reason, however not sure how many of you really know the psychology behind of it. Our brain has a protective mecanism. When we are delaying something, it comes as a reaction to something that bothered us long time ago. I think the first think to do - observe the pattern, analyse it and change the attitude.
@busmark_w_nika not sure if this is procrastination, I still will discover what is happening with my habits. Using self-therapy journeys for that - they are based on KSA framework (knowledge - skills - attitude). The secret is to change your attitude towards uncomfortable situations. I see you guys super active here - is this procrastination concept still an evergreen problem?
@tina_sisman It is a matter of an individual. Some people when they feel unproductive, they keep themselves busy (always). And there are also people not caring too much – they procrastinate and they are okay with that.
Bad habit : Procrastination and Over loading myself with more requests
How do I fight : Still fighting to find a solution 🤣
Habit - Making a plan and not following throgh then making another plan for something i just made a plan for just to not follow through.
Mindset - "I can do everything" or " Im not good enough"
@cornell_gorman25 Mindset :D I have both but it is a pity that I do not have them at the right time when I need that certain one :D Bad timing. :)
inconsistency is a bad habit... it is okay to be not too organized... you can still write it down... but inconsistency is the biggest enemy of success...
Focusing too much on how much needs to be done rather than the small steps ahead. It’s a question of refocus, once I refocus on the small steps ahead I get more done and feel less overwhelmed
@tina_armasu less is more! It is so hard to keep yourself in the focus. This hustle era makes you feel you have superpower to make 1000 things in the same time.
@zhiqi_shi I try to avoid to be on socials but I actively manage communities!
i would say under confident sometime i have more say but can;t discuss or share :(
@yatheen_brahma Do not afraid to share what you think. Yes, you can be hated but you will be yourself. I am trying to practice it now :D
@smit_rangras123 how do you prevent yourself to be too much on social media? :)
@busmark_w_nika I always turn off the internet on mobile when i working and turned off the notification for Instagram & Snap
My bad habit is trying to do things perfectly, else procrastinate on it, and repeat. Also extremely unsocial.
Totally relate, @busmark_w_nika! For me, it's over-planning instead of just starting. I get caught up in perfecting my approach, which delays action. To fight it, I’ve started using the 'two-minute rule'—if it takes less than two minutes, I do it immediately. Also, setting small daily goals instead of overwhelming long-term plans helps me stay on track. Networking-wise, I remind myself that asking for help isn’t a burden but an opportunity for collaboration. It’s all about progress over perfection.
The idea of 'working hard' often implies putting in long hours or excessive effort, but in reality, working smart can yield better results with less strain. By leveraging efficient tools, you can minimize time spent on repetitive tasks and free up more energy for creative or complex work. For example, using tools like iBoysoft MagicMenu on your Mac significantly boosts productivity by streamlining file management. It helps you quickly create new files, move or copy documents, access files (software, URLs), find duplicate files, uninstall applications, copy file paths, archive files, and more—all with a simple right-click. Good productivity tools help you focus on more important tasks and ultimately work smarter, not harder.

Leaving important things for the last moment is the worst habit ever, and yet, somehow, I always find myself doing it. Procrastination feels harmless at first, but then reality hits, and suddenly, the deadline is right around the corner. That’s exactly what happened with some of my assignments—I kept pushing them off, thinking I had more time, and now I’m in full panic mode. The only way to fix this mess is to get urgent help from ukwritings.com/buy-essay, or else there’s no way I’m finishing everything on time. Lesson learned (hopefully), but for now, I just need to get through this
