Disorganization #150; searching for keys, library books or mittens can take up a great deal of time. Find sensible homes for everything.
Perfectionism #150; there is a huge increase of time spent doing something perfect over excellent. Focus on making sure things are well done not perfect.
Details #150; we live in a time when we are lucky to have so many options available to us. This can also be incredibly overwhelming. Try to limit your options to 3 -5 choices. Take advantage of opinions of experts and friends.
Hidden time #150; when we pay attention to how long things actually take we can plan accordingly. A one hour workout at a gym can take two hours if you consider travel and preparation time.
Procrastination- we often spend more time thinking about what we have to do than it takes just to do it. If you catch yourself procrastinating, ask yourself why you are doing it and then solve that problem.
