Work smarter, not harder
When facing heavy workloads or complex tasks
Understanding the Rule
Focus on effectiveness over sheer effort. Strategic thinking, better methods, and intelligent approaches often achieve more than brute force. Efficiency multiplies the value of effort.
What Happens When You Break It
Working harder without working smarter leads to burnout, inefficiency, missed opportunities for leverage, physical exhaustion, and diminishing returns on effort.
Benefits of Following This Rule
Working smarter achieves more with less effort, prevents burnout, increases effectiveness, creates sustainable productivity, provides competitive advantage, and improves work-life balance.
