5 Bad Habits You Need to Drop (…Like a Bad Habit)
5. Chewing With Your Mouth Open
- put food in your mouth
- close your mouth
- chew the food
- swallow the food
- speak
4. Using Filler Words and Sounds
If you or I printed out a day’s worth of the words that we speak, how many times would we see “like” or “uh” or “so” or “you know” or “man” or “dude” on that embarrassing piece of paper? If you had to pause to think about this, then the total is probably much higher than it should be. Why do we say these things so much? They serve no purpose, most of the time.
3. Being Late
Many things are beyond your control. Being late is NOT one of them. Get here IN TIME please!!!
2. Speeding
Hopefully, you already know that the odds of perishing in a horrible collision increase dramatically when a car exceeds the speed limit. But were you aware that accelerating beyond 60 miles per hour could also dramatically affect your car’s fuel efficiency? The adoption of speed limits between 55 and 70 mph across the country are partly based on safety but also largely tied to the fact that, at high speeds, vehicles consume far more fuel.
1. Not Getting Enough Sleep
Being awake 20 hours per day for 60 years is the same as being awake 16 hours per day for 75 years, so if you sleep better and live longer it actually adds up!
