12 Tips on How to work smarter not Harder

Imaginably, like me, you say that you never have enough time and that you just can't cope with million dozen things all at once. How on earth do you get out of that spiral? Many people never sit down and look at how to work smarter, rather than harder and even longer hours. Here are 12 tips you should be following:



1. Look after your greatest resource

No, your greatest resource is not time. It is YOU. If you do not get enough sleep, exercise and relaxation, you find that you become less and less productive. You begin to work longer and longer hours, which is the exact opposite of what you want.
What you should be doing is making sure you are in the best shape. It is useful to remember that you need a break of 15 minutes after every one and a half hours of work. Taking breaks and getting fresh air and exercise is one of the best ways of working smarter, not harder.

2 .Use a “to don’t” list 



3. Expect failure and fight paranoia

When failure rears its ugly head, some people get a bit paranoid and fear that this may become a trend. Projects will go wrong and failure should be expected rather than feared. Learning lessons from failure and analyzing what went wrong is the best way forward.

“Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.” -Richard Branson

 
4. Improve your time management skills

 Easier said than done? Well, no actually, because there are a few simple rules that can really help you to manage time better. For example, when setting up a top priority task, you need to switch off the phone and ignore your email first. Then you need to abandon any ideas of multitasking as that will slow you down and ruin your focus. Finally, set a reasonable deadline and do everything in your power to meet it.

“When you’re born, you’re born with 30,000 days. That’s it. The best strategic planning I can give to you is to think about that.”

-Sir Ray Avery

5. Learn how to use MACROS

It is well worth downloading this program because when you have to do a long series of boring repetitive tasks (especially with programs like Excel), a MACRO will do it with one click. Now that is really a great way of working smarter, not harder.

6. Use the phone more often

Instead of writing emails, it is often much better to pick up the phone and talk to the person responsible. It saves time. If that colleague works in the same office, it is even better to go and talk to him or her. It gives you a break, you get some exercise and you actually make human contact which is becoming quite rare in this electronic world.

7. Keep a tab on your tabs




If you are like me, you might well find that you have a ton of tabs open at the top of your browser. In order to find the one you want, you have to search for them as they are off screen. Having all these tabs open slows down your browser too. One solution is to use One Tab which can keep a neat list on the screen of all these tabs when you want to quickly get to one of them or you want to remind yourself which ones you have open.

8. Speed up your typing and use shortcuts

These days we’re all keyboard slaves. So, why not speed up your typing and try to get rid of the two finger syndrome. This is exactly what I am doing now, so I cannot honestly say I am practicing what I preach! But help is at hand. One of the best sites is Typing.com, which gets you going with free tutorials.
Using shortcuts on the keyboard is another time saver and can speed up your work. For example, press F2 to rename a selected file, while CTRL + Iwill put selected text in italics. There are so many of these; if you make the effort to learn them, they really can be helpful.

9. Be concise

Rambling on at meetings, in emails and even when introducing yourself to new clients can waste a lot of people’s time. One way is to practice and sharpen your “elevator speech,” which tells people in 30 seconds or less why they need your skills and how they can benefit from doing business with you. Just think of the many situations where this could be useful:

· Making new contacts

· Talking about yourself at a job interview

· Meeting people at conferences or parties

· Phone calls to new clients

10. Ask the right questions

“You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.” -Naguib Mahfouz
How do you get feedback? The secret is to ask the right questions at the right time. When you do this, you are gathering the information you need to help in decision making. This will save you time and you will be able to cut meetings to a minimum.
Forbes magazine reports on research that they carried out on asking the right questions. When that happens, the positive effects are increased by 400%.
“If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on it, I would use the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes.” -Albert Einstein

11. Learn as much as you can

You should always be on a steep learning curve. Look at your skills profile and determine where you need to fill a gap. Talk to important connections and network in your niche. Keep up to date on trends and developments. It is a fact-changing world. When an opportunity arises, you will be the best equipped to seize it because you have never stopped learning. Just another way of working smarter.
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” -Mahatma Gandhi
 
12. Don’t fall into the trap of working smarter and harder

As a society we are obsessed with doing everything smarter so we are more efficient and we save time all around. Great! The most important thing to remember is to accept when we are ready to switch off that computer and not fill up the time with even more work.

A must Read for all Christians and Religious leaders- Christian feasts

Has the enemy cleverly erased from the minds of man part of God’s restoration plan??. ..In the attempt to make humanity rebel against the Father’s will ;a very important command has been ignored and all but forgotten. I speak of God’s feasts.

You see , they are not just to be celebrated, but personally experienced, for in them His knowledge has been hidden as a well concealed and protected treasure. Of course the enemy has led the majority of mankind as far from them as possible giving them holidays in their place. Holidays that are absolutely the direct opposite of truth. Even for those that have managed to hang onto the feasts, they are so downplayed they are little more than lukewarm rituals. 
the feasts remain available to God’s people
The feasts remain available to God’s people

Each year however, for those that hunger for Truth, the feasts remain available to God’s people. The feasts are truly to be looked forward to. Each year another very important part of God’s plan for restoration is on the menu to help humanity regain its state of perfection. Besides, to attend it is the Father’s desire for His children.

God said in Leviticus 23:2,

“Speak to the children of Israel (remember, that’s us), and say to them: ‘The feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations (or designated meetings with God), these are My feasts (not Christmas, not Halloween, Easter or any other holiday celebrated by the world, just His holy convocations, His feasts).

******************************************************
He was betrayed took bread
He was betrayed took bread

I Corinthians 11:23-30 explains communion,


For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes (testifying how He bought our redemption with the sacrifice of Himself, fulfilling Jubilee requirements for giving us back to Father and returning to us all Eve gave up to Satan).

Now here is where I want us to pay close attention:

Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner (as a member of the altered race, poor and lacking God’s knowledge, therefore still owned by him) will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord (God’s law).


But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup (to his regeneration or …).

For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.

For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep (or die). Apparently every one will help counter Satan by observing our God's restoration agenda which is by the rare feasts he makes for us.
