當你在擬訂今年的目的時，別忘了回顧一下你的職場生活。你可以做出什么改進，來讓自己在工作中變得更有創造力、更讓人愉快？

Experts offer this list of common bad habits at work -- and how to break them:
專家們列舉了工作中常見存在的陋習，與改正它們的辦法：

* Planning poorly
計劃性差

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 pm, 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 efficient to plan your next day before you leave work。
你是否天天都要在辦公室先花上一個小時考慮該干什么？ Next Step Group公司總裁Glenn Davis說："不少人在下午4-6點離開辦公室時，對第二天一早要干什么一點頭緒也沒。下班前為第二天做個計劃會提升效率。"Next Step Group公司專門替軟件公司及其它公司招聘銷售及銷售管理職員。

* Spending the day in "email reaction mode."
一整天都處于“郵件響應模式”

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."
每收到一封郵件就立刻去回復。這個做法或許表現出你能積極響應，但并非肯定有效果。人力資源實行官搜索及咨詢公司Valerie Frederickson的CEO和開創者Valerie Frederickson說："你感覺自己像個英雄，由于你處置完了所有些郵件，但這對于完成目的沒幫助。"

* Abusing work-from-home privileges
濫用在家辦公權利

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，在家工作叫你不必把時間浪費在路上。但有不少人會由于洗衣服、孩子和突發情況不可以集中精神。Davis說："大家喜歡說，在家辦公，‘我能多做這么多'"。有的人的確是，但并非每一個人。假如你在家辦公，確保你安排了一整天的工作量，而且在工作日，同事們都能聯系到你。

* Putting personal life before work
個生活活先于工作

Everyone has emergencies from time to time. But it's annoying to have to repeatedly fill in for the colleague who is late every morning because he's checking on his home remodeling project, or who misses an entire afternoon because she scheduled a routine dentist appointment for 1:30 pm。
每一個人都會時不時有緊急事情，但有的狀況叫人惱怒，譬如你一直要頂替一位天天早晨因為檢查家裝而遲到的同事，或頂替下午1:30去看牙醫而整個下午都沒來的同事。

* Being late for meetings
開會遲到

People who show up 5 or 10 minutes late for a meeting cause a "domino effect," Davis said. Meetings later that day may be thrown off schedule because the earlier ones ran late. And people who show up on time feel their time is being wasted。
按Davis的話說，開會晚到5或10分鐘會引起"多米諾"效應。由于前面的會議開晚了，那樣當天安排在后面的會議的時間都會被打亂。而且按時到會的人也會感覺我們的時間被浪費了。

* Not taking care of health and hygiene
不注意個人健康和衛生

Leslie G. Griffen, an HR consultant and career coach, is sometimes hired by companies to approach an employee who doesn't bathe and ask them to improve their hygiene. The problem is twofold, said Griffen, principal of The Griffen Group. A sloppy appearance will cause a poor first impression. Also, "if your hygiene is bad, your health is probably bad," Griffen said. An added benefit of eating well and exercising: You'll have more energy。
人力資源顧問及職場教練Leslie G. Griffen有時會應公司聘請去教會不洗澡的職員，需要他們改變個人衛生。Griffen Group公司總裁Griffen說，這個問題會帶來雙重惡果：懶散的外表會給人不好的第一印象，而且"假如你的個人衛生不好，那樣健康可能也不好。"好飲食及訓練的一個額外好處是，你會有更多精力。

* Using inappropriate humor
不適合的幽默

Your coworkers may not appreciate your sense of humor. Skip the off-color or "racially targeted" jokes, Griffen said. And be careful about sensitive subjects such as politics and religion。
你的同事們可能并不賞析你的幽默。Griffen說，防止那些下流或"具備種族歧視"的笑話，而且注意政治和宗教這類敏銳話題。

* Not caring about your work
不關心我們的工作

People like coworkers who are enthusiastic about what they do. Show that you take pride in your job by presenting yourself well, communicating clearly and doing your best work。
大家喜歡對工作有熱情的同事。用好的舉止、明確的交流和最好的營業額來表現出你以工作為榮。
