Hitting the snooze button:

It often happens that you hit the snooze button again and again and get late from the office. You set your alarm for a legitimate reason and if you don’t wake up at the right time, wasting few minutes can delay your work for hours.

Trying to accomplish a lot:

Multitasking is horrible in practice and it actually makes you less productive. According to studies, multitasking makes it harder for you to remember information and to pay attention. Multitasking often wastes time and you should avoid it. Get everything done quicker by focusing on one task at a time.

Complaining:

If you keep on cursing your job, your apartment, or lack of opportunities, then you will barely have time to do anything else. These are the things that crush your motivation; therefore, you should avoid complaining and try being more positive.

Browsing the internet:

Mindlessly browsing the internet does nothing more than wasting your precious time. It wastes a lot more time than you actually think and removes you from your original track. Limit your time spent online and even if your job requires a lot of internet browsing, limit yourself only to an hour a day. It will save you a lot of time that you can spend on completing your other important tasks.

Being indecisive:

By being indecisive, you waste a lot of your time unknowingly. You don’t realize that how much time you waste by just think what you should eat for lunch, what clothes to wear etc. give yourself a set time when you have to make a decisions and decide during that period. In this way, you will not linger on a decision and will not even regret wasting your time.
