Entrepreneurs can develop some pretty bad work habits without even noticing, like ignoring “big picture” thinking time or holding on to tasks they should be delegating. It’s important to take stock of your day-to-day activities every once in a while to make sure that your lifestyle needs and business needs are both being met.

Certain “bad habits” can easily lead to entrepreneurial burnout, so if you notice any practices or behaviors that are draining you, now might be a good time to change them. To that end, a panel of Forbes Business Council members share some bad habits every entrepreneur should eliminate from their daily routines.

1. Not Scheduling ‘Thinking Time’

As an entrepreneur, it is easy to get into the mode of solving problems, closing deals, managing a team, etc. This is all needed, but not at the expense of “thinking time,” which I define as the focused time you give yourself to think through big challenges and key strategic initiatives. – Shavonnah Schreiber, SNR Creative

2. Having FOMO Or Envy

Envying others gets you nowhere. Focus on what you can control and how you can win. Most importantly, focus on your employees and customers. The rest takes care of itself. – Vivek Joshi, Entytle, Inc.

3. Confusing Activity With Productivity

Concentrate on work that moves the needle for your company forward and eliminate or automate routine low-value activities that take your attention away from growing the business and enhancing your value proposition. – Lowell Smith, IRALOGIX, Inc.

4. Procrastinating And Missing Deadlines

Procrastination can be a huge problem for entrepreneurs. It can lead to missed deadlines and lost opportunities and can cause a lot of stress in the long run. To avoid this, entrepreneurs should strive to create and stick to a daily routine, as well as create systems to help keep them on track. They should also learn to recognize when they are procrastinating and take steps to break the habit. – Ritesh Dalal, Intellective

5. Maintaining To-Do Lists We Never Complete

How demotivating is it to never feel accomplished? For those with a running list that has stuff on it from a year ago, please delete it all. Each day, we have a determined amount of hours to accomplish our tasks. If those hours are filled before we wake, we will never be open to new opportunities and what today may offer. – Jennifer Coy, Beauty Care Choices

6. Not Taking Time To Recharge

Entrepreneurship is a journey that requires constant growth, learning and adaptation. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of running a business, but if you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t be able to stay on top of things. – Rakesh Soni, LoginRadius

7. Neglecting Your Personal Life

The habit that many entrepreneurs struggle with is overworking and neglecting their personal lives. This can be dangerous, as it can lead to burnout, exhaustion and a lack of focus. To prevent this, we should prioritize our time and create boundaries between work and personal life. That means setting regular hours when you will be working and taking time for yourself outside of those. – Erik Pham, Health Canal

8. Making All Of The Decisions

Entrepreneurs have to change the mindset that they have to be at the center of every decision, as this leads to overload and burnout. This is hard to do every day, as driven entrepreneurs are passionate about what they’re working on. – Jaqui Lane, The Book Adviser

9. Checking Emails Before Bed

As an entrepreneur, we allow every element of our business to consume us, both good and bad. Reading emails at night can almost guarantee a sleepless night or sending emails without thinking first. If we hold some sacred time to unwind, we will wake up with a clearer head. – Laura Silver, Blue Door Communications

10. Managing Tasks Alone

One bad habit that every entrepreneur should eliminate is doing tasks on their own. Your ability to delegate is important if you want to scale up your business. Free yourself from that hamster wheel grind through automation and delegation so you can focus on more income-producing activities. – Pavel Stepanov, Virtudesk

11. Stressing And Not Goal Setting

Doing this is only going to take you away from your goal, prove the competition right and stress you out if you’re lagging behind. Learning every day is good but implementing it and expecting results from it too early will hurt any entrepreneur. – Neha Madaan, Vanator

12. Not Focusing On Positive Habits

Self-doubt prohibits entrepreneurs on the brink of a breakthrough. Believing in oneself, being surrounded by positive energy, having an exercise routine and learning from others when times get tough are all key to overcoming a lack of confidence. Staying focused on what one is good at and developing positive habits will help entrepreneurs deflect negative feelings and self-doubt as they arise daily. – Emilia D’Anzica, Growth Molecules

13. Being Critical Of Yourself

Don’t allow a negative perspective and negative self-talk to control your daily narrative. This can easily make each task, decision, new venture and more seem daunting and overwhelming, which is a big contributor to burnout. It will also bleed throughout the company to lower team morale, stifle productivity and limit growth. – Melanie Ammerman, VaVa Virtual Assistants

14. Starting Your Day On The Phone

Waking up and going straight to your phone is not the way to wake up and start your day. Wake up, have a routine and do self-care to get yourself ready for the day ahead of you. Start positively by waking up at 4 or 5 a.m., working out, eating, meditating and reading. Do this and you’ll be ready mentally to handle any and all new challenges that the day holds for you. – Kirt Linington, Linear Roofing & General Contractors, LLC

15. Multitasking

Very, very few people are able to multitask well and the majority of us just end up doing a poor job across multiple projects. Single-tasking is where it’s at. Get as far on one project as you can before turning it over to whoever else needs to be involved. Only then should you jump to the next thing on your to-do list. – Ty Allen, SocialClimb
