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，不管我们有没有察觉到，都存在一些影响工作效率的坏习惯。本来我们可以按时完成工作的，可是这些习惯却使我们的效率和产量低下。以下是一些你应该改掉的影响效率的坏习惯：
1. Consuming the information you don’t need 1、看没用的讯息
Unsubscribe from as many mailing lists as you can. This way you can cut down the amount of incoming e-mails and prevent distraction。
订阅邮件能少则少。这样能减少收到的电子邮件数量，不让工作分心。
Also, stop watching news. If there is an event that is newsworthy, it will catch you anyway (mostly by other people)。
新闻也不要看。如果这个事件真有新闻价值，不管怎样你都能看到(多半从其他人那里听到)。
2. Letting others to run your life 2、为别人而活
Steve Jobs said it right: “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life。”
史蒂芬·乔布斯说的很对：“时间有限，不要浪费时间，为别人而活。”
You are the master of your life and it is a shame if you live your life by pleasing others。
你活着是为了自己，可惜的是，现在你活着却为了取悦别人。
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，经常听取别人意见是一种聪明的做法。但别理睬那些浇你冷水的人。
3. Reinventing the wheel 3、做重复性工作
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。
开始一项工作前，就找找看是不是已经有现存的方法能提高速度。
