Things to Avoid

Becoming your most productive self is as much about avoiding productivity-killers as it is about actively employing best practices. We talk a lot about productivity-boosting strategies on this blog. Today, we’re going to look at productivity from the other end of the spectrum. If you can identify the habits that diminish your ability to be productive, you’ll be better positioned to rid them from your life (and on top of that, you’ll have more time to implement some of the other strategies we’ve discussed).
