Never restarting your computer
Consistently, leaving your computer in sleep or standby mode won’t affect your computer, but it will slow it down.

Eating as you work on a computer
Eating and working at the same time will no doubt affect your output. It is advisable to either do your work and eat later or eat first then focus on your work. Better still, you can take a break to eat. You will not have to eat in piecemeal which you definitely won’t enjoy.
Driving and using your phone
Driving and using your phone can easily distract you and eventually cause avoidable accidents. It is better to concentrate on the road and ignore your phone as 2017 beckons.
