What’s one time-wasting habit you’ve successfully eliminated to improve your productivity?

Aimlessly using social media!

I got rid of multitasking. I focus on one task at a time and get it done more efficiently.

This was a while ago, but the first thing that came to mind. In high school i spent untold hours playing video games. Somehow my not-yet-fully-developed brain recognized this was unsustainable, so consciously did not bring any of my systems, etc. with me to college. Eventually the pull of the habit just sort of died off. Still enjoy some nostalgic n64 games with my brother-in-law a couple of times per year, but otherwise all that daily energy is redirected to other hopefully more fulfilling (for me) pursuits.

Same here, I used to waste so much time mindlessly scrolling social media feeds throughout the day. Setting designated times to check social has def boosted my productivity big time. Another habit I kicked was constantly checking email - now I only check at set intervals which keeps me way more focused.

No longer spending too much time on emails first thing in the morning, which has helped in starting the day with more productive work.

I used to spend way too much time on social media. I set specific times to browse and stick to them.
