6 Workplace Habits That Harm Your Career Prospects

Answering E-mails In Your Personal Time: Your personal time is valuable; in fact it’s meant for you. It’s the time you spend doing what you love to do, whether you’re on a road trip or playing Candy Crush on your phone. And what you like to do probably doesn’t include monitoring your office emails like your rest of your life depends on it. Work-life balance is a must. There are exceptions at times when you’ll need to be on-call for a project that’s extended itself after hours. Other than those times, it’s better to keep your office phone aside and make it a point not to look at it until the next business day. Your boss emailing you pictures of his vacation doesn’t always mean that you need to reply immediately.

Not Utilizing Your Paid Time Off: What’s fun when you have visited the best place in the world and you’re not using it in the right possible way. The tight schedules and constant workload will often make you feel there will never be a perfect time for vacations or fun time, but the fact is there’s never a perfect time to do anything in life. And well planned vacations always go for a toss. So you need to understand that the work will always be there on any given day. Set aside some time to talk about your vacation plans with your manager and make things easier when you’re working.
