You have been lied to! Hard work IS NOT smart work!
Please...
Get this!
Here is a couple of ways to look at this:
Right now I am taking flying lessons to become a private pilot (I do not like to have my shoes x-rayed) and as I learn about the theory of flight, I learn this point; the faster (harder) I fly the plane, the less efficient it becomes, there is a bell curve to this where the right speed and power will allow me to fly along the most comfortably, with the least amount of stress on me and the plane.
Driving a car is not much different, the harder you push it, the faster you wear it out, the more money it costs you and when you consider the extra "down time" that comes from all this stress, it just makes sense, that driving it with better flow, you would be better off.
So here are some pointers to get more done in less time:
- "Know where you are going." Set yourself some fun goals that inspire action, goals that are specific; if you say you want a plane, there is a huge difference between a Cessna 172 and a Bowing 747. If you want a "new car", there is a huge difference between a new Kia and a new Bentley.
- "Go with the flow." Allow yourself to move with the moments and make the minor course adjustments required to ensure you are going in the right direction towards your goals.
- "Give yourself some time." While it has been a couple of years since I have been in morning traffic, I clearly remember the guy who would "gun it" when the light turned green and "slam on the brakes" at the next intersection. He (and there were lots of 'He's', I was a 'He' at one time") would look at me with frustration, as I would always be moving right past him through the intersection (he just raced to), at full speed shortly after the light turned green because I decided to time the lights; go seemingly a bit slower in the middle, but I never had to stop (lose momentum) and start again along the way. The ride was much more enjoyable and I used less resources to get to my destination. This would allow me to think more about my day and less about "trying to make the light and all the jerks on the road holding me back."
- "Enjoy the ride." Relax! Last time I checked, you only get one trip, so make the ride enjoyable for yourself. You can work really hard and get nowhere, or you can work smart, move along at a great pace, see what is coming with enough time to make intelligent course adjustments allowing yourself the opportunity to make more money with less effort.
- "Know the impact you have on others." Leadership is an interesting thing; the people doing less towards the thought of "leading" tend to lead, as they are not looking behind to see if people are following them. Instead, they are looking ahead to ensure they are getting to where they want to go. The best way to be a leader, is to set an example of being the best at what it is you want to lead at. When you are great at it, then you are worthy of following. Leaders do not try to lead, leaders take action and do what needs to be done to get the results they have set out to get and by default, they become leaders.
So we talked about planes and cars a bit to get my point across, but hopefully you go the message.
