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?

Good morning Grant. A little reflection before planning begins can not be overrated! Enjoy your day!

I like the idea of reflecting on what's not working to help plan out a new year. Thanks for sharing!

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...

Hello Grant - if it is good enough next year or sometime in the future, why not NOW?

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.

Barbara - you are a great role model.
Sham - thank you.
Wayne - reflection helps and then execution.
Brenda - good timing, right? still not the last minute.
Sheri - well actually, many New Years resolutions turn out being pseudo.
Michael - yes, do it now!
Brian - agreed, it is a process.
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 like this post specially this is something I don't think about, but I guess now it's a good time to reflect and do changes if needed.

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.

Will - we certainly hope there are not as many.
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.
Grant, I am working on those currently. I work too much, and do not spend enough time on my health, which I am working hard on developing better habits.

Sometimes, I still allow others standards to impact my thinking. I am concentrating on remembering to stay mindful and focused on my own game.

Roy - yes we all need to do it.
Sally and David - that is a very good analogy.

Good advice. The hardest part is being honest with yourself about your time wasters and bad habits!

Grant, these are great tips. My bad habit is working hard for my clients and not much time for me...I do hope to slow down and smell the roses.

Joan - well I open the direction but then they decide to delve.
Wayne and Jean - that is true. You have to admit it first.
Rebecca - sound like it is time to take a little vacation.
The word that come to mind is procrastinating. I have learned to seize the moment in my real estate practice and it has worked wonders Grant Schneider
Good morning, Grant Schneider no bad habits in business or personally.... live the straight and narrow NOW....
