21 HABITS THAT CAN SABOTAGE LAWYERS PRODUCTIVITY

MOST FOLKS HAVE AT LEAST ONE OR TWO HABITS THAT SLOWS DOWN THEIR PRODUCTIVITY.

On New Year's, many lawyers join the rest of humankind, making and vowing to keep resolutions.

The excitement of renewal and hope is in the air. The new year marks a new beginning—another chance to get it right.

MEET MICHAEL

Michael was a perfect example. He set new goals every New Year. He says,

"Over the years, I picked up an extra twenty to thirty pounds. My wife and doctor were constantly on my back. My doctor told me that I am at a greater risk for heart attacks. My wife just nagged me about my eating and drinking habits."

Michael's New Years Resolutions:

1. Lose 15 pounds.
2. Make more money
3. Catch up on my backlog of cases 
4. Organize my desk at work
5. Drink only on the weekends
6. Go for a walk each day
7. Drink more water
8. Eat more vegetables
9. Save for a great family vacation
10. Pay off credit card debt
11. Work on my marriage

Michael tells us about his New Years Resolutions

"January 2nd was a big day. I knew things were going to change. I made myself get up early, put on my gym shoes, and go for a walk. I turned down bread, sweets, and beer. I asked my wife to fix a salad. I felt good, and my hopes were up. I didn't have my nightly drink. I had bought a water bottle, and I kept it on my desk and drank throughout the day.

By January 5th, I walked into my office, looked at all the papers everywhere. I kept moving the old files to another side of my desk. I was too busy to organize my office and workload. By lunchtime, I caved in and had a hamburger on a bun plus some fries with onion rings. 

Because I was busy, I forgot to drink water. That night my wife and I had an argument about a credit card bill. I said the heck with it! I poured myself a few drinks to cool down. One drink went into three or four, I went to bed and woke up with a hangover, which was the end of my New Years' resolutions.

I want to do it differently, but

I can't seem to change."

IMMEDIATE PLEASURE FROM BAD HABITS

Michael is not alone. As humans, it is difficult to change old habits. Let me explain about how our brains affect your ability to incorporate new habits into your life.

It is easier to cling to bad habits because we have centers in our brain that are immediately rewarded . We receive a hit of dopamine and other feel-good chemicals that reinforces our bad habits. 

Over the past 25+ years, here are a few habits some of my clients have asked me for help with:

1. Wasting hours Surfing the internet
2. Spending hours watching the news
3. Addiction to their their smartphones and devices
4. Procrastination, constantly postponing their goals. ... 
5. Feeling stuck living a mediocre life.
6. Self-sabotaging behaviors one step forward, two steps back
7. Running from their problems through distractions 
8. Worrying about their flaws and how others perceive them
9. Trying to control everything through perfectionism
10. Imposter Syndrome
11. Blaming others, especially at work, Millennials vs. Boomers
12. Trying to be something they are not
13. Being a perfectionist, getting little done
14. Arguing with spouses or relationships that compromise mental state & productivity 
15. Criticizing themselves or others
16. Overeating
17. Drinking too much
18. Constantly worrying, feeling stress, or anxiety
19. Smoking or drug addictions
20. Other addictions
21. Habit of staying up too late or oversleeping
