Do you have any work habits you’d like to improve?

Situation - I am a blog writer mainly I target to learn something and put it in blogs to revise or make it concise or add additional detail. I have a bit of a habit of pushing my work until the last minute. It’s something I’ve managed to get away with because I always meet my deadlines, but it definitely turns into a crunch.

Task - I realised it is not the good way to be consistent and I need to make it smooth.

Action - I made some plans. As it is personal work so it gets delayed with any change in plan. I made a routine that I will learn something new by every week and be consistent in modifying and writing.

Result - Its been working out pretty well and I am consistent in the learning. I can see the benefits.
