Work Smarter...

We’ve all heard the statement, “Work smarter, not harder.” I’ve used it myself on a number of occasions, admittedly trying to motivate people to do BOTH, work harder AND smarter. Truth be told, it appears as though we’re ALL asked to DO MORE with less time.

Recently I came across this list that had been buried in my files for a number of years. I wish I could give credit where credit is due, but sadly, I have no author’s name for which to give credit.  As I re-read this list…it hit me…rules to working smarter…
