15 High Performance Habits For Career Success

Written by Natalia

For the majority of professionals, career success is the key factor in happiness. Considering the fact that the 80% of our time daily is dedicated to our work, it’s no wonder career is taken so seriously.

This article by Lewis Humphries, in Lifehack, recommends a list of 15 good habits for career success as well as personal success (to include the remainder 20% of our daily lives).

As the author says, “You cannot succeed in life without first achieving personal growth” and I couldn’t agree more! Why don’t we all make a commitment for the coming year? Let’s focus on developing these practices that will lead to our life and career success.

“According to recent statistics released by the Office for National Statistics, under-employment in the UK has now reached its highest level since 1992. An estimated 1.46 million of the nation’s part-time workers are actively seeking full-time employment, as the government struggles to create viable job opportunities for its citizens.

So while British Prime Minister David Cameron may have recently called for individuals from poorer backgrounds to “raise their aspirations,” he must first focus on creating opportunities that motivate this demographic. Even then, it must be recognized that motivation and aspiration are both complex psychological processes, which require a daily commitment and the cultivation of a positive lifestyle.

With this in mind, it is worth identifying the high performance traits and practices that will help you to achieve your goals. Consider the following habits to be successful.”
