Sitting too long, interrupting the work flow to answer emails, eating lunch at our desk ... we all have bad work habits. But you can get more done and enjoy your workday more.
We all do it: scroll through email in meetings, skip lunch to catch up on work, or tackle multiple tasks at once. Though ubiquitous in the modern workplace, rather than being models of efficiency, these are learned bad habits that sap productivity, mental prowess, and even long-term health. We spend most of our waking hours at work, so breaking bad work habits can have a profound effect on our daily quality of life. Developing good work habits can make us happier while we work smarter.
