Stop working hard!
Now I have your attention. Before you start getting defensive, what I actually mean is stop suffering. Relax! Sometimes what we glorify as hard work is actually suffering. I'm not saying you should embrace laziness with your full chest. I just think we should find better or smarter ways to do things. In essence, be smart about hard work. I hope this makes sense. If you're to choose between cutting a tree with an axe or an electric saw, I'm sure most people, if not everyone, would actually prefer to use the electric saw. If you choose the axe, I really can't define the color of your problem! I've seen people spend hours doing things that could have been done in a few minutes. Ignorance would make you think you're hardworking! Sometimes taking shortcuts is okay as long as the results are not mediocre. Notably, seek information about your field and you'll be surprised that there are better and faster ways of doing things. Work hard, work smart, but don't suffer. I remember how I used to struggle all night to paraphrase documents. I later learnt how to use Quilbot, and it was like a heavy burden had just left me. The same was the case when I was searching for platforms where I could share my insights and build my portfolio. TwoCents came through, and you're currently reading my twocents. Work as an informed individual. Don't get obsolete. The great part about the idea contained in this article is that it can be applied to any facet of life. I've done my part. Now go do yours!
