People have suggested I’m a smart cookie.
But sometimes I’m as stupid as everyone else.

Here are my top 10 random acts of self-sabotage:

1/ Planning the day… then ignoring the plan.
2/ Creating folders… and saving everything to Desktop (it's a mess).

3/ Researching tools to do the work… instead of doing the work.
4/ Asking for help… then resisting every suggestion.

5/ Reading news opinions… instead of forming my own.
6/ Mistaking “I read the document”… for “I understand the content.”

7/ Waiting for permission… before taking action.
8/ Calling a committee… a team (they’re not).

9/ Multitasking… and doing several things badly.
10/ Being “British polite”… instead of honest.

These aren’t stupidity really.
Just me being human.
Habits to notice.
Change.

What about you - dare to share?
