Habits are formed when we do the same thing repeatedly. It can be a good habit, like exercising. Or it can be a bad habit, like showing up for work late every day. Here are 10 tips to help you develop successful habits for work and business.

1. Work on your habits during your most productive time of the day.
2. Before you can change a habit, you have to recognize it. Ask others if you have a bad habit that needs changing.
3. Have an accountability buddy who keeps you on track when developing a new habit.
4. Become aware of when you are practicing your bad habits. In other words, increase your awareness of what you’re doing and when you’re doing it.
5. As much as you can, avoid people, places, and situations that trigger your bad habits.
6. When you can, replace your bad habits with positive ones.
7. Give yourself a reward whenever you engage in a good habit instead of an old, bad one.
8. Mark time on your calendar to work on your new habit. This works especially well for habits such as exercising.
9. Create a ritual. For example, if you want to floss your teeth every day, put the floss next to your toothbrush.
10. Start small and focus on one habit at a time.
