Great tips, thanks for sharing!

Look at your activities that have produced little or nothing and may have kept you from doing more productive things. How do you spend your day? You could start by doing a time matrix outlining how you spent every hour in a given day. Now look at how much time was wasted and how many important things did not get done?

Hi Grant Schneider,

Very good suggestions! 

I did ponder when I started reading this. Thinking about people who make New Year's resolutions.  If a resolution is needed to change a habit than one should start to resolve that at the time. I don't believe in waiting for a specific date or day like New Years to change something that needs changing! Just a thought...

Working on my bad habits is a daily routine and I am always open to constructive criticism for bad habits that I might not even know that I have.

Grant that is a good question.  I really have not given it much thought on whether I need to make any changes but I will be doing so over the next 30 days.

At this point in my life I have committed and eliminated most of the bad habits there is to make in this business.  But you never know there maybe still be one out there.

Hi Grant Schneider, I don't have any bad habits but can certainly do some things differently. My not so good actions only affect me, they are a great benefit to others.  Thank you for this post, it really spoke to me.

Krystin - thanks,  I hope it helps.

Abby - true we don't think about many habits because they are subconscious.

Beth - some things are not necessarily bad but changing can make a positive difference.
