　　Experts offer this list of common bad habits at work -- and how to break them:

　　专家提供了一份清单，列出了工作上的坏习惯以及如何改正的方法：

　　1)Planning poorly.

　　不懂得规划。

　　Do you spend your first hour at work wondering what you should work on today? "So many people, when they leave their office at 4 to 6 p.m., really have no clue what they’re going to do first thing the following morning," said Glenn Davis, president of the Next Step Group, which recruits sales and sales management professionals for software and other companies. It’s more ficient to plan your next day bore you leave work.

　　你每天的第一个小时是否都是在考虑今天要做些什么工作呢?Next Step Group公司是一家为软件公司和其他公司招聘销售人员以及销售管理专家的人力资源公司，其总裁Glenn Davis说：“很多人，在4点到6点离开办公室的时候，确实一点都没意识到第二天早晨第一件事情该做什么。”在你下班之前计划好第二天该做的事情是非常有必要的。

　　Answering every email message as it comes in may make you seem responsive, but it’s not productive. "You feel like you’re being a hero because you’re dealing with all your email," said Valerie Frederickson, CEO & founder of Valerie Frederickson & Co., an HR executive search and consulting firm. "But it has nothing to do with achieving your goals."

　　回复每一封发给你的邮件可能会让你看起来很积极，但这并不是有效率的工作方法。人力资源咨询和猎头公司Valerie Frederickson的创始人兼执行总裁Valerie Frederickson声称：“你可能觉得处理了所有的邮件以后你就好似英雄了，但是这对实现你的工作目标并无帮助。”

　　2)Abusing work-from-home privileges.

　　滥用在家工作的特权。

　　Yes, you save time when you work from home by not commuting. But too many people are easily sidetracked by the laundry, their kids, a quick errand . "People like to say, ’I get so much more done’" working from home, Davis said. And some do -- but not everyone. If you work from home, make sure you’re putting in a full day’s work -- and that you’re accessible to your colleagues during the workday.

　　是的，在家里工作的话节约了交通时间。但是太多人很容易就被洗衣服、照顾孩子、以及其他突发事件耽误了工作。“人们喜欢说我在家工作‘做了这么多事情’” Davis说。有些人确实做了不少事情。但并非每个人都是。如果你在家工作的话，要确保你投入了全天的时间来工作，并且在上班时间要保证你的同事能够随时联系上你。

　　3)Not caring about your work.

　　不关心你的工作。

　　4)Using inappropriate humor.

　　开不恰当的玩笑。

　　5)Not taking care of health and hygiene

　　不注意身体健康和卫生。

　　6)Being late for meetings.

　　开会迟到。

　　7)Putting personal life bore work.

　　将个人事情摆在工作前面。

　　8)Spending the day in "email reaction mode."

　　一天的时间都用在了回邮件上。
