Sitting here on the bed after a lovely evening with family and friends something came into my mind. It was about “work smarter not harder“.
It is so simple yet so profound.
I used to see so many people at work putting in the hours but putting in the hours and productivity are 2 quite different things. As I had had a young child under 2 at the time and had to leave work every day at a certain time, I had to stay focussed and get everything done correctly and on time.
Was I under pressure-you bet!
The company got the same amount of work out of me as if I worked full time (go figure)!
This led me to think of the old childrens tale of the tortoise and the hare. It is so beautifully summarised here that I would do the author a disservice to even try to summarise. I encourage you to have a read for yourself and let me know what you think!
