5. Kill your habit of complaining.
It’s just not worth it. Be aware of the words that come out of your mouth. They affect you and the people around you.
Speak of good things, and more good things happen. Speak of negative things, and more negative things happen. Simple.
6. Kill your habit of wasting time with negative people.
If they don’t love and support you, get rid of them. You don’t have to shout, kick, and scream. Just stop being available to them. They won’t notice. They’re too self-centered to care.
7. Kill your habit of taking or organizing long and unnecessary meetings.
Less meeting means more doing. We’re all adults. Take the meeting, do what you need to do, and go and do it. You can still be social, and have fun, and succeed in making meetings more efficient.
Try this in your next meeting. Set an agenda. As you run through the agenda, go around the room and have everyone share:
What they’re working on.
What they’ve completed.
What they need in order to complete what they’re still working on.
It works, I promise. You’ll shave half an hour off your meeting time.
