8 common morning habits destroying your productivity:
1. Hitting snooze
Let’s be honest...
That extra 9 minutes in bed isn’t doing you any good.
It doesn't make you more rested... it just makes you more tired.
It also jet lags your system and knocks your sleep/wake cycle off course.

You wake up.
Check your texts.
Then the weather.
Then Twitter.
Suddenly... 30 minutes have gone by.
