Discussion around habits isn't reserved for just a New Year's resolution these days. Whether you're reading BJ Fogg's
Tiny Habits or James Clear's
Atomic Habits (both great resources - anyone out there read and find them helpful?), talking about good habits, or kicking bad ones is all the buzz.

1. Working in a cluttered place
2. Not drinking enough water
3. Slouching
4. Working with too many tabs open (This was after I closed about half - don't judge me!)
5. Living cooped up inside
6. Taking a call in the middle of work
7. Watching emotional shows
8. Procrastinating doing little tasks
