Disorganisation

You are so disorganised that you always lose important documents and you seldom find what you need on your desk. You hardly finish your tasks. Your desk often looks like it has been hit by a hurricane, and at the end of the workday you carry part of your paper mess home with the hope that you can organize it there. You do not keep a proper diary or to-do list and have no idea of what is most important to do first.

Procrastination

You leave your tasks till the very last minute and when you must do it you find that you are under so much pressure that you cannot meet the deadlines.

Inability to say “No”

You feel that you cannot say “no” to requests because that is letting people down, something that is not in your value system. You cannot say “no” because no one else can do this task as well as you, or there is no one else to do it.

Lack of interest

You are not doing your work because you are not interested in it, or you are afraid of failing if you try. You may not have enough information about it, or you simply do not want to do it.

Burn Out

You are exhausted and are unable to concentrate, you are very emotional and feel you have been working and living under so much pressure. When the stress becomes too much for you this is called burn out.

Social networking

Spending time on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Whats App can waste your time that could have been used productively.
