I find these 7 habits really are the big barriers for modern people's daily work.
These 7 habits are:
1. Not showing up
2. Procrastinating half the day
3. When actually doing something, doing something that isn't the most important thing right now
4. Thinking too much
5. Seeing the negative and downsides in just about anything
6. Clinging to your own thoughts and being closed to outside influences
7. Constantly on information overload
I agree with the author that these 7 habits are belong to highly ineffective people, I think I am a ineffective people, and for me, the 7th habit " information overload" is a major problem.
In modern times, it is really a information society, everybody may call many people and also get a lot of calls from others, maybe your friend sent you a text only say he find your old girl friend is dating with a handsome guy, maybe you got 20 emails per day, but 50% are rubbish mail, even you don't look at your SNS website, your cellphone will PUSH the newest news to your phone dashboard. Ok, you maybe need spend 30 minutes to get information from outside, these information will damage your former schedule, you need to add things to your schedule even it is not very important( like 3rd habit), let you feel unhappy( your ex-girl friend's news makes you crazy). Then you will not showing up some places those you should be there, you thinking too much so you can't focus on the thing on hand. That's what I said: " Information damages you, not benefits you."
I think people don't need too much information, even a lot of it seems like closely link to your life. People should know the basic, and do the extra.
I find that I am also an ineffective person. Every day I receive so many informations and a lot of them is usefulless. Just some gossips or other things like that. But this is an information age, everyone is involed in it and you can just jump out and stay alone. A certain standard is neccessary so you can filter the unwanted informations and leave the right things. I think that would be useful.
