Working hard or working smart?

25
•
I am still not able to figure out what to do and when. Sometimes I feel many people around me becoming smart and driving past fast and I keep working hard.

Be healthy (not only physically)

Both! but also depends on the form of the day

Working smart all the way. Working smart is planning, managing resources, time and being productive whilst working hard leads to burnout.

@lucasdvb How do you analyze that you do not work hard but smart?

Work hard AND smart. Makes live easier and get things done faster. But I'm a fan of tasks>time, so working smart > working hard!

Working smart means choosing where to apply your time and energy first, prioritizing your tasks in the most efficient way and avoiding unnecessary work. However, you still need to work hard to achieve your goals, even if your work process is optimized and your goals are prioritized. I'm sure you'll figure it all out 💪🔥

I believe perseverance sets me apart, and that I see as hard work, not smart work. But then again, it makes me pretty fast too. I realize this comment doesn't sound too humble :P

@edena I see defining clear goals, and priorities and working with smart tools also requires clarity, and that comes after much sweat, failures, experiences and mistakes.

@janak_patel56 yes, it's difficult to separate the two. Doing something a lot, helps you do it better. But some people do seem naturally strategic, and I think I'm more naturally tenacious.

i prefer a balance between hard work and smart work. Sometimes it is not a bad idea to use shortcuts, like with the writings for example. I started to use these services https://ukwritings.com/ few months ago only, but already see how it helped me to be able to concentrate on my job more.

Make a smart strategy then work hard to make it win!

@garysz Without failures and experience how ill you make a smart strategy? Something that you never knew

Hey there! 🚀 It sounds like you're at a bit of a crossroads between working hard and working smart. Finding that balance can be a real challenge, but remember, success is a marathon, not a sprint! 🏃🏽‍♂️ It's great to see those around you thriving, but don't forget that everyone's journey is unique. Keep tinkering, keep pushing boundaries, and most importantly, keep being true to yourself. You've got this! 💪🏽 #TechLife #KeepTinkering
