5 tips to work smarter in your job: -
1. Set Clear Goals
— Pratham (@Prathkum) June 20, 2023
Knowing what you want to achieve in your job and how you're going to get there.
Don’t over promise, don’t over exaggerate, don’t over plan. -
Take the time to write down your goals and break them down into smaller, achievable steps.

This will help you stay focused and motivated, and make it easier to track your progress. -
2. Prioritize Tasks

This sounds like a dead-simple pretty obvious thing but of most us fail to do so and end up wasting hours.
Focusing on the most important and urgent tasks first, and then moving on to less important ones. -
By doing this, you'll ensure that you're using your time and energy in the most effective way possible.

It will also help you avoid getting bogged down in tasks that aren't adding value to your job. -
If you can’t prioritize tasks on your own, reach out to your manager and ask them to help you out. It will help you make a strong connection with your manager too.

3. Develop Time Management Skills

I usually start my day by adding daily tasks on my Google calendar so that I get reminders.
It also helps me track whether I’m not burning a lot of time on a single not-so-important task. -
To improve your time management skills, try using a calendar or to-do list, breaking your day into blocks of time, and minimizing interruptions.
