With a twist to the common list of habits that are useful to establish, here are 7 habits that you do best to avoid.
与那些经常被列举出的应该培养的好习惯相反，有7个习惯是你必须避免的。
Just like finding habits that can be useful for you it’s important to find habits that are holding you back.
找到那些对你有益的习惯很重要，但同时找出那些会拖你后腿的习惯也一样重要。
Most of these 7 habits can easily become such a normal, everyday part of life that you hardly notice it (or how it’s affecting you).
以下7个习惯很容易成为你生活中自然而然的一部分，你甚至根本不会注意到它们（抑或是它们带给你的影响）。
I’ve dabbled with all of them quite a bit. Not surprisingly I didn’t get much of the important stuff done.
其实我每个都沾点边。所以可想而知我有很多重要的事情都没有完成。
I’d also like to add that these are just 7 broad habits you can establish to become highly ineffective in most parts of your life. I pretty sure there are several more.
我也要补充一句，这些只是最常见的7种可能存在在你身上的影响你效率的习惯，但我确定肯定还有很其他的习惯。
1. Not showing up.
1.缺席
Maybe you’ve heard this quote by Woody Allen: “Eighty percent of success is showing up”.
也许你曾经听过伍迪·艾伦所说的这句话：“百分之八十的成功来自于出席。”
One of the biggest and simplest thing you can do to ensure more success in your life – whether it be in your social life, your career or with your health – is simply to show up more. If you want to improve your health then one of the most important and effective things you can do is just to show up at the gym every time you should be there.
要想在生活中拥有更多成功，那么最应该做的事，也是最简单的事就是更多的出席。例如，如果想要改善自己的健康状况，最有效的办法就是每天按时出现在健身房里。
The weather might be bad, you might not feel like going and you find yourself having all these other things you just must do. If you still go, if you show up at the gym when motivation is low you will improve a whole lot faster than if you just stayed at home relaxing on the sofa.
无论天气是多么不好、你是多么不想出门、你有多么繁忙，只要你能坚持在积极性不高的时候出现在健身房，你就会开始改善健康，而不是每天躺在沙发上幻想自己的身体忽然变得更健康了。
I think this applies to most areas of life. If you write or paint more, each day perhaps, you will improve quickly. If you get out more you can meet more new friends. If you go on more dates you chances of meeting someone special increases. Just showing up more can really make a big difference.
如果你想提高写作水平或绘画水平，你就要经常练习。如果你想交更多的朋友，就需要出席更多的活动。学会出席，积极主动地参与，这将使你的生活受益匪浅。
2. Procrastinating half the day.
2.拖拖拉拉
To keep it short, my 3 favourite ways to get out of a procrastinating state are:
下面介绍三种我最喜欢的治疗拖延症的方法：
1.Swallow that frog. What’s this means is simply to do the hardest and most important task of the day first thing in the morning. A good start in the morning lifts your spirits and creates a positive momentum for the rest of the day. That often creates a pretty productive day.
1.吃掉那只青蛙（小编注：即在一天的最开始就完成那些最重要的工作）。早上良好的开始会让你一天都保持高昂的情绪和积极的动力。这通常会使你这一天都十分高效。
2.How do you eat an elephant? Don’t try to take it all in one big bite. It becomes overwhelming which leads to procrastination. Split a task into small actionable steps. Then just focus on the first step and nothing else. Just do that one until it’s done. Then move on to the next step.
2.一项一项去完成。想想，你如何吃掉一头大象呢？不要打算一口吃成胖子，这会使你感到过多负担以至于产生拖延的念头。把一项工作分为若干可付诸于行动的小步骤，然后仅仅关注第一步直到把它完成，接下来再继续下一步。
3.I find the guided mediation to be very useful. After 20 minutes of mostly just lying on my bed and listening I’m far more productive for a few days. I don’t feel the urge to sink into that procrastinating state or the need to find out what’s new over at one or five of my favourite websites.
3.我发现“自我催眠”的方法十分有效。我时常花上一段时间躺在床上反复默念“在这几天里我都会十分高效”之后，我就觉得自己又有动力，又有激情地开始工作了。
3. When actually doing something, doing something that isn’t the most important thing right now.
3.做无关紧要的事情
One of the easiest habits to get stuck in, besides procrastinating, is to keep yourself busy with unimportant tasks.
除了拖拖拉拉以外，另外一个容易陷入的不良习惯就是深陷无关紧要的事情之中。
To be effective you probably need some kind of time management-system. It might be something really simple, like using the 80/20-r
