What is the difference between working too hard and working smart? Employees work in the office 8 hours a day and 5 days x week. Sometimes that is not enough because if the need arises, we end up rendering overtime. The bad thing is that not all of our paperworks in the office can be done in a short period of time. So you ask yourself, "When am I gonna be finished?" questions like, "Is this the right time to resign?"
Well, they say that RESIGNATION is not the solution and in fact to accomplish big things in the corporate world needs patience and hardwork.
Is it going to be patience and hardwork only?
When does working smart takes place?

In my experience of the workplace 'working smart' usually means getting somebody else to do your hard work or the parts of it you don't like.
There is still the same amount of work so unless somebody comes up with a clever system to automate the paperwork, for example, somebody somewhere will still end up doing it.
The ones who work smart are usually the bosses as they have people under them to do the donkey work!

You mention above that working 8hr a day 5 x a week plus overtime that is called
workhard you do hard work.but the question is are you earning enough of working hard?
If the answer is no! So you only working hard not working smart.
look at your boos is he working hard or not? i think he is not?
because he hires you. right?
Now the difference between working hard and working smart is
working hard are work only in certain task while working smart are finding many works
which in return he did not work the task instead he give the work to others while at thesame time
he earn from that work by not working for that task.
that is called working smart.
