Have you ever heard the phrase “Work smarter, not harder”? Have you been taught what it really means? Several studies claim that it was coined by the industrial engineer Allen F. Morgenstern in the 1930s and it has been often used to motivate people in the business sphere ever since. It sounds appealing, but it also suggests working smart as opposed to working hard. So, what does “to work smarter” mean? Using the best tools, optimizing the process, and scheduling the workload properly? Certainly yes, but that does not necessarily exclude the option of putting effort into what you do.
