Work smarter, not harder. It’s not just a phrase; it’s your untapped potential.
In his best-seller, ‘The 4-Hour Workweek,’ Tim Ferriss hit the nail on the head: automate the automatable and eliminate the rest. Why squander cash and time—both finite and precious?
Research shows that in the maze of the modern workplace, only 50% of our time is truly spent on work that matters. The rest? It’s a whirlwind of ‘busy’—emails, meetings, paperwork. Cut through it.
‘Never automate something that can be eliminated,’ says Ferriss. That’s the mantra. Before you rush to delegate, ask: Is this task even necessary?
Here’s your litmus test: if it’s redundant, scrap it; if it’s routine, script it; if it is confusing, redesign it. ‘Never automate something that can be eliminated, and never delegate something that can be automated or streamlined. Otherwise, you waste someone else’s time instead of your own, which now wastes your hard-earned cash.’
The age of smart work is here. Join it. Don’t just do work. Do impactful work.
