Over a period of time when working the same job, we tend to build work habits that can be either good or bad, but there are ways to break out of those habits if they are bad. Good habits are completely fine like the order in which you do your work, so long as it doesn't have a negative effect on the rest of your job.

For bad habits, breaking them could be difficult, but necessary. For instance, if you wait till the last minute to do a project, you need to work on prioritizing your work so you know what can be done each day. In this case, if you have a long term deadline on a project, it's best to work on it a little bit each day, rather than waiting until the last day and doing one large work load.

Also, don't develop bad habits from the beginning if you can help it. Preventing them will eliminate the need to breaking them, making the positive habits the main focus here. Once you find good habits at work, stick with those for the long haul.
