He Watched Netflix… While Working?
Summary
- When you're working, give it your full attention; multitasking with things like Netflix can seriously hurt your productivity.
- Always aim for self-improvement – if you notice a bad habit, don't just reduce it, stop it entirely to see real change.
- As a leader, I encounter surprising revelations from team members, and it's essential to guide them constructively without coming across as punishing.

How To Take Action
I would suggest setting specific work hours where the only focus is on work, no distractions like TV or movies. This makes it easier to get into a "work mode" and stay productive. If stopping a bad habit seems tough, try reducing it first, then aim to cut it out completely for more noticeable improvements in performance.
When talking to team members about their actions and performance, focus on being constructive. Instead of showing disappointment or surprise, guide them with clear feedback and steps on how to improve. Show empathy and help create a plan with them that aligns with their goals and the business's objectives.
If you are trying to improve yourself, write down your bad habits and track them. Whenever you catch yourself doing one, make a mark. This will help you become more aware and eventually lead you to stop. Remember, every minute spent doing something unproductive is a minute away from reaching your goals. Keep pushing for progress every day.
