If you find yourself checking emails every two minutes, or attempting to conquer an impossibly long to-do list, you may be hindering your own productivity, and temporarily lowering your IQ. Marketo produced this infographic to show seven common ways people impede themselves in the workplace. The infographic also goes into detail as to how each anti-productive behavior affects people’s thought processes and, in turn, their work. The seven habits mentioned include checking email every two minutes or more, keeping a cluttered desk or working space, being as un-ergonomic as possible, multi-tasking, being overzealous about notes, letting others interrupt you and, finally, creating an impossibly long to-do list.
