Working Hard vs. Working Smart???



Although I think of new topics to talk about, I find myself with little to no time, to actually sit down and right. I have realized, and reminded, in order to be successful, why continue to work HARD, when it is better to work SMART!

What does that mean? Taking out the time to SCHEDULE your day. Having an agenda, to hold your scheduling, is genius! I dusted off mine and felt empowered as I watched the dust disappear into the air, just like time ticking away!

The biggest thing we take for granted is OUR TIME!!! It is extremely valuable to find a balance between work and play. It is easy to get caught up in the rapid pace each day brings, and forget to schedule in ME TIME, when we plan our work week. I also find that using an agenda, creates a HUGE advantage in the business world.

How empowering to say, "let me check MY schedule, and I will get back to YOU!"...especially after a draining day?? If the deal is ready on Tuesday, it will most likely be available on Wednesday, Thursday at the latest. Making decisions, in haste, leads to disaster, so the SMART thing to do is, take your time in making your decision, for if you make the wrong decision, you will have to work HARDER to redeem yourself.

Remember, the journey to the top is faced with many obstacles, falling and definitely, dusting yourself off and try again...until the next time, stay positive!

  1. Agreed, concerning Decisions. Interestingly enough, this is something that I had to preach to my 16 year old daughter this past weekend. I assure her that if she makes the right decisions in life, through careful thought, her life will be that much more enjoyable.
