Our daily life is full of unproductive habits and rituals that we execute– whether on a conscious or unconscious level. This makes us less efficient and productive than we could potentially be. Here are some unproductive habits that you should let go:
在日常生活中，不管我們有沒有察覺到，都存在一些影響工作效率的壞習慣。本來我們可以按時完成工作的，可是這些習慣卻使我們的效率和產量低下。以下是一些你應該改掉的影響效率的壞習慣：
1. Consuming the information you don’t need 1、看沒用的訊息
Unsubscribe from as many mailing lists as you can. This way you can cut down the amount of incoming e-mails and prevent distraction。
訂閱郵件能少則少。這樣能減少收到的電子郵件數量，不讓工作分心。
Also, stop watching news. If there is an event that is newsworthy, it will catch you anyway (mostly by other people)。
新聞也不要看。如果這個事件真有新聞價值，不管怎樣你都能看到(多半從其他人那里聽到)。
2. Letting others to run your life 2、為別人而活
Steve Jobs said it right: “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life。”
史蒂芬·喬布斯說的很對：“時間有限，不要浪費時間，為別人而活。”
You are the master of your life and it is a shame if you live your life by pleasing others。
你活著是為了自己，可惜的是，現在你活著卻為了取悅別人。
Naturally, it is wise to listen for advice from other people every now and then. However, ignore those people who say you can’t reach your dreams。
自然，經常聽取別人意見是一種聰明的做法。但別理睬那些澆你冷水的人。
3. Reinventing the wheel 3、做重復性工作
Before you start working on your task or project, spend some time on research to find out if there are already solutions that help you to complete your task faster。
開始一項工作前，就找找看是不是已經有現存的方法能提高速度。
