No matter if you’re a successful business owner or budding entrepreneur, we all have bad habits that diminish our productivity and drain our happiness. Bad habits sneak into our daily routines and hold us back from producing our best work. The first step in combating your bad habits is recognizing the habits you’re currently engaging in that need to improve.

The trick to conquering your bad habits is to realize that the goal isn’t to erase them, but to replace them. Bad habits are usually caused by an underlying factor like stress or boredom, so if you can identify a new habit that addresses the underlying problem, you will be much more successful in kicking your old habit.

For example, if you find yourself checking your email too often to stay on top of all you have to do, try replacing that with a to-do list that you create at the beginning of the day. This combats the underlying cause while providing a more productive habit as a replacement.

This technique can be applied on anything from skipping breakfast to spending too much on new business expenses. However, be careful not to take on too many bad habits all at once, to make sure you don’t get frustrated and overwhelmed.

Once you reduce your bad habits you’ll reap benefits in many areas of your life. Bad habits at work may cause you to be unhappy and undermotivated, which carries over when you go home. But when you cut your stress, increase your productivity, and project a professional demeanor, you’ll become happier and more successful in the rest of your life as well.
