Working Smarter
We all know that working harder is a dead-end street. The only way to remain successful is succeeding in working smarter. This involves understanding the soul (core) of working smarter and implementing effective strategies for improvement.
In short: you have two key personal resources: your energy and your time. That’s all. Working smart is to spend your energy and time as wisely as possible. Achieving your goals with the minimum use of energy and time.
Managing your Energy and Time is the most important and also one of the most challenging skills. It is not easy to manage two core assets in different dimensions at the same time.
Suboptimal control in the Energy dimension eventually will lead to tiredness, decreasing engagement, and even an urge to escape (quit). Poor time management can lead to missed deadlines and low productivity, which is a serious risk to your career. You can however master this skill if you follow the right learning path (see picture below).
