Hundreds of people walk around a huge building with hundreds of stores for hours just to leave empty-handed a lot of the time. This is especially bad because I could be tuning my leadership skills with all of those people, but instead I am just minding my business walking from store to store creating bad leadership habits.

I am literally laying there sleeping for a long period of time when I could be doing something else productive. This affects my leadership because instead of conversing with people and improving my leadership skills, I am sleeping.

Pretty much anything you want to watch whether that is how to build a treehouse, watch a music video from your favorite artist, or just get a quick laugh. This platform is helpful in many ways but has become a time waster for me. It  affects my leadership because I am not using it to improve my leadership, but instead to waste time.

It becomes very addicting to watch especially the series with multiple seasons because many of the episodes leave on a cliffhanger. It is great for leisure time but is a big time waster and affects my leadership in the way that I am giving my undivided attention to the show and time goes by that I could be practicing my leadership skills.

The app allows you to post and view short videos up to one minute long. The app will give you content based on your interests and videos you have liked, saved, or shared. As you can tell, the app can be very addicting and time consuming to endlessly watch video after video. It is the ultimate time waster and affects my leadership in the way that I am wasting time on my phone when I could be practicing my leadership skills.

This quote is my favorite procrastination quote because it can be applied to so many areas of my life, and it is one that I will carry with me forever. No matter how big my goal is to accomplish, no matter what I have to take the first step and take it day by day.

This is a strategy that will continue with me for the rest of my life. Practicing this benefits my leadership greatly because it shows others that I am disciplined with my work and I will be leading by example for others!]]> 2021-02-19 00:28:28 UTC https://padlet.com/wmarcy1/kfx4bovx58ocwsca/wish/1217479744 wmarcy1 https://padlet.com/wmarcy1/kfx4bovx58ocwsca/wish/1217483510 In Settings on my iPhone I can set time restraints to apps such as Tiktok, Instagram, Snapchat, or Youtube. That way once the time that I have selected for the day is up, I will not be able to use the app for the rest of the day. This helps my leadership by engaging in the real world vs being antisocial on my phone.

There are thousands of helpful videos out there from a variety of people from professional athletes to inspirational speakers that share their view on how they effectively use their leadership abilities to impact others. This benefits my leadership a great amount because I will be directly learning about how to be the best leader I could be out in my day to day life.
