Not only do people make new resolutionsat the start of the New Year, but many are also looking to drop bad habits. A toxic habit can be an insidiousforce in your life —you'll keep falling into its trap, and pretty soon, it'll become second nature and you won't even notice it.

Instead of holding it off until "later," working on it step by step will get you to your end goal faster.

拖延心理。组织专家彼得-沃尔什认为今年应改掉拖延的坏习惯。沃尔什说，一步一步做任务便可化解一堆琐事。拖延心理在生活中随处可见。例如，某些工作任务经被拖上几周甚至数月。不要等“以后”再做了，一步一步先做起来，最后就能更快地完成任务。
