Working Hard vs Working Smart

Work Smart

    I'd like to share my thoughts regarding working hard vs working smart. We work hard, we woke up early to prepare for work and we go home late.Sometimes we even bring home our work.  But why is it that despite working hard , why do I feel not progressing? It got me thinking what went wrong. I give my all and still nothing is happening.  Working hard is not enough its just a part of it. We should be working smart.  

    Working hard and working smart  are two different things.  Often times work hard and concentrate on working fast and forget to think possible ways to improve our work. We are stuck on the things we know and stop learning and stick to what we know. We do not maximize the resources that we have. We usually do our work right away  thinking the work would be done fast but without realizing that  working without a plan takes a lot of time that it is when plan. Working smart is utilizing and maximizing the resources around you. Assess your the work, dissect it, find out the details.  Make a plan and outline your work make a schedule. Divide the work in tasks. Work on a task one at a time, work on it and give your best to avoid switching your thoughts on doing multiple task and to ensure your work is on a superb level.

     While working smart you should also take into account such as having enough rest and periodic breaks. Do not overwork yourself, our mind and body gets tired which leads to having careless mistakes and lose of concentration. Also, have periodic breaks it allows you to release tension and regroup your  thoughts.
