WORKING SMARTER NOT HARDER
--------------------------------------------------
Being SMART is a function of doing things in a certain way. The quality of smart-ness usually includes saving time, saving money, saving energy, and maximizing all of your resources.
The best way to work and live
smarter is to have a plan. Smart people are successful people. And successful people have a personal strategic plan that helps them project their creative thoughts forward into the future to create a new reality and bring it to pass in their lives. While having a plan is the first step, you must also be
flexible enough to adjust your plan, or deviate from it, when necessary. Sometimes you will be faced with obstacles that you hadn't anticipate. At other times, you will realize that part of your plan is incorrect and needs changing. This could be because others have changed the situation variables. Or it could be because you made an assumption about things that didn't turn out the way you thought.
Whatever the reason, change your plan to accommodate what you now know to be true. It doesn't mean you have failed; it means only that you needed a
course correction.
Pilots file flight plans to indicate where their aircraft is going, and the route it will take to get to its destination. But they often must change that plan and make adjustments to the course to avoid storms, take advantage of tailwinds, and keep their distance from other aircraft.
Be prepared by having a plan, and then be prepared to
change your plan when it makes sense to do so.
