当你在拟订今年的目的时，别忘了回顾一下你的职场生活。你可以做出什么改进，来让自己在工作中变得更有创造力、更让人愉快？

Experts offer this list of common bad habits at work -- and how to break them:
专家们列举了工作中常见存在的陋习，与改正它们的办法：

* Planning poorly
计划性差

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。
你是否天天都要在办公室先花上一个小时考虑该干什么？ Next Step Group公司总裁Glenn Davis说："不少人在下午4-6点离开办公室时，对第二天一早要干什么一点头绪也没。下班前为第二天做个计划会提升效率。"Next Step Group公司专门替软件公司及其它公司招聘销售及销售管理职员。

* Spending the day in "email reaction mode."
一整天都处于“邮件响应模式”

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."
每收到一封邮件就立刻去回复。这个做法或许表现出你能积极响应，但并非肯定有效果。人力资源实行官搜索及咨询公司Valerie Frederickson的CEO和开创者Valerie Frederickson说："你感觉自己像个英雄，由于你处置完了所有些邮件，但这对于完成目的没帮助。"

* Abusing work-from-home privileges
滥用在家办公权利

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时间浪费在路上。但有不少人会由于洗衣服、孩子和突发情况不可以集中精神。Davis说："大家喜欢说，在家办公，‘我能多做这么多'"。有的人的确是，但并非每一个人。假如你在家办公，确保你安排了一整天的工作量，而且在工作日，同事们都能联系到你。

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

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。
每一个人都会时不时有紧急事情，但有的状况叫人恼怒，譬如你一直要顶替一位天天早晨因为检查家装而迟到的同事，或顶替下午1:30去看牙医而整个下午都没来的同事。

* Being late for meetings
开会迟到

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的话说，开会晚到5或10分钟会引起"多米诺"效应。由于前面的会议开晚了，那样当天安排在后面的会议的时间都会被打乱。而且按时到会的人也会感觉我们的时间被浪费了。

* Not taking care of health and hygiene
不注意个人健康和卫生

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。
人力资源顾问及职场教练Leslie G. Griffen有时会应公司聘请去教会不洗澡的职员，需要他们改变个人卫生。Griffen Group公司总裁Griffen说，这个问题会带来双重恶果：懒散的外表会给人不好的第一印象，而且"假如你的个人卫生不好，那样健康可能也不好。"好饮食及训练的一个额外好处是，你会有更多精力。

* Using inappropriate humor
不适合的幽默

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。
你的同事们可能并不赏析你的幽默。Griffen说，防止那些下流或"具备种族歧视"的笑话，而且注意政治和宗教这类敏锐话题。

* Not caring about your work
不关心我们的工作

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。
大家喜欢对工作有热情的同事。用好的举止、明确的交流和最好的营业额来表现出你以工作为荣。
