1. Talking too muchCommunication plays a very important role in our daily lives. But speaking or talking too much can have its side effects. Talking too much and oversharing can have consequences.
It usually bores others, and you can sometimes share sensitive information, which can be dangerous for you or the organisation you are working with. This habit can earn you the tag of being unprofessional.

2. Responding late to messagesGetting messages and choosing not to reply can earn you a bad reputation. Leaving messages “seen” or leaving conversations incomplete can create communication gaps, which can prove fatal for your career and personal relationships too.


3. Saying "Yes" to everythingSaying yes to everything can prove problematic sometimes. Many times, the habit of saying yes can attract trouble for you. Taking on tasks you don't want to do or taking excessive work because of the habit of saying “yes” can cause burnout in the long run, and alsp lead to missing deadlines-- thus making you look unprofessional.

5. Having a messy workspaceFirst impression is often referred to as the last impression. And when it comes to the corporate world, you can’t afford to have a bad impression. Having a messy desk can raise questions about your working style and make the wrong impression on others.
