The good worker is not necessary a hard worker but a smart worker. The essence of being a smart worker is that the worker will be able to achieve more within the limited time and resources at his disposal.

There are six guides which can make one to become a smart worker and they include:

1. Have a Definite Goal and Narrow Down on Your Focus

With a clear and precise definition of your goal you will focus on what is achievable and possible. The narrower your focus and goals are, the more possibility it is for you to achieve your target. Wider the target more difficult it becomes for it to be achieved. The number of times spent in putting your priorities right can never be a wasted time. Set the priorities and targets right it will help you to be a smart worker.

2. Have Frequent Appointment within Yourself

For you to maintain balance and not go off track it is necessary you make stocktaking frequently and keep up with your schedules and activities. It is always good to have a deep reflection and clear assessment of what you have done to determine the way of moving forward.

3. Build only on your strength and Work around Your Weaknesses

Spend your energy only on the areas you are good at, and forget those areas you are not good at. Those areas you are not good at, and which are very instrumental to your success you have to work around to fortify yourself. There is something good in the economy of comparative advantage.

4. Go on vacations and practice giving yourself Rewards

All work and no play they say make Jack a dull boy. It is good you take time off your job and go on vacation. There should be a time in your routine you should go on break to refresh yourself. Have a good treat on yourself. Do not take the money you spend on refreshing yourself as a waste.

5. Do not procrastinate

Procrastination is a lazy man’s exercise. Tackle every project before you. The more you delay on a project the more it becomes burden on you. The earlier you decide to tackle the project even the most difficult ones the easier, it will be for you to accomplish the project. Always ask whether the project is important to the realization of organizational goals.

6. Create a Good Working Space around You

Surround yourself with only those things that will make you succeed in the office and not those things that will distract you. Always do away with anything that will not aid your productivity.
