What negative behaviors should you quit in 2015?

\nIf you’re finally coming out of the haze of holiday cookies and alcohol, and you’ve deleted hundreds of emails that built up while you were away, maybe you’re now\u00a0giving real thought to your plans for the new year.
\nHarvard Business Review recently ran a round-up article headlined, “Things to Stop Doing in 2015”<\/a> that listed numerous negative behaviors to quit, mostly related to work. It included:<\/p>\n

Stop\u00a0multitasking<\/a> (it can be done).
\nStop\u00a0procrastinating<\/a>,\u00a0saving work for tomorrow<\/a>, and\u00a0waiting to be inspired to work<\/a>.
\nAt the same time, stop working at an unsustainable pace<\/a>. It makes\u00a0leading more difficult<\/a>, and to do things better, you have to stop doing so much<\/a>.
\nIf that\u2019s not possible, at least stop\u00a0complaining about how busy you are<\/a>. Everyone will thank you.
\nStop feeling like you have to be authentic all the time<\/a>.\u00a0It could be holding you back.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As you can see, each of these suggestions links through to an HBR.org article that explains why multitasking is hurting you or why you should stop overlooking the women in your organization, for example. If you think starting a new year is a time for\u00a0doing more — this is the year you start going to the gym\u00a0or bring in more sales or learn a new skill — let HBR show you why you should also cast off activities that are hurting you<\/a>.
\nA few more:<\/p>\n

Stop sitting<\/a>\u00a0so much. Seriously.
\nStop getting defensive<\/a>. (Not that we\u2019re accusing you.)
\nAnd if you can\u2019t stop doing any of these things\u2026 stop\u00a0believing that you have to be perfect<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
