Work smarter, not harder

If you work hard, you will be successful in life.  This is true but what if you worked smarter but accomplished the same things.

You do have to be the smartest person in the world to be able to work smarter.   I think the best way to explain this is with examples:

Example 1

Working harder: You get all work done but you are doing your projects in no particular order or with no plan.

Working smarter: You get all your work done but you have broken down how you are going accomplish this and you have matched similar projects with each other.

Example 2

Working harder: It takes you almost an hour to find something for your boss because you did not organize your work space.

Working smarter: You have an bin for incoming papers and you have hanging file folders labeled A to Z.  This way if your boss needs something from a particular company (e.g.  Home town products), you know exactly where it is (folder H).

Example 3

Working harder: You do not eat a proper breakfast and you feel the results in the afternoon.  You feel tired and cannot focus.  You expend more energy and make your body work harder.

Working smarter: You eat breakfast every morning and drink fluids throughout the day.  When the late afternoon comes, you are still on top of your game.

I can go on and on.  However, now it is your turn.  How do you work smarter?
