Kill bad habits
It’s amazing how people keep their bad habits active. Although they pretty well know that they are doing something wrong, although they understand what to do when they are told what to do, most of the time, they go on and stay trapped.
→ A few real-life examples here –ask yourself the question “How about me?”:
Working long hours without an inspired goal for the month, the week, the day.
Ignoring “It takes months to get a customer. Seconds to lose one” while expressing strong disagreement with a customer.
Never respecting a meeting time schedule and a strict agenda.
Talking too much without asking questions, and paying too little attention (or zero attention) to others.
It’s easy to agree that these are bad habits. But how to break them? Think about it. Write down a few thoughts. Better: decide what to do and set a deadline.
I’ll be back on these 4 bad habits later this week.
