Work Smarter

Ice Climbing in Ouray Colorado a few years ago. The Ice Climbing Festival is coming up in a couple of weeks.

A common myth is that if you are productive you will get more done. Another theory is that by staying busy you are going to be more successful. However, we all know from experience that choosing quantity or quality isn’t always the right way to go about doing things. One way to switch your approach to success is to work smarter, not harder. Don't try to squeeze as many items into your day as possible but simplifying how you can get them done. The expected outcome is faster achievements, less stress, and improved time management. It sounds simple, but we’ve all made the mistake of leaving the most important task until the very end when there’s little chance of ever completing it. To avoid falling into this trap start by identifying the two or three tasks that are the most important to complete, and do those before anything else, regardless of how long they may take. To be successful you need to get an early start. It’s logical that the greater the number of hours you have, the more opportunity the more you will accomplish. Next pay attention to the task at hand. Distractions make it harder to focus on the task at hand. Your attention is torn between multiple points of interest, and your ability to concentrate is severely reduced. Try these ideas and you will be on your way to accomplishing your daily goals and working smarter.  Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way.

God Bless
