Including yourself.
Oh the realities of working hard and not getting anything in return. For that fresh faced college grad or the fortune 100 exec starting anew in a startup, it can be a big wake up call.
It seems like the best anyone can do is work hard anyway, cross their fingers and get lucky?
But wait just a second! That doesn’t seem right. It seems wrong in fact.
So what is a person to do?
Two of my favorite websites are Slacker Manager and Lifehacker. They help you get more work done in less time, manage your day more effectively, yet still be an asset to the company you are working for. That last number is huge.
The old cliche goes, “Work smart, not hard” but these sites will actually help you do it effectively.
Do you have any other sites or resources you use to work smarter?

Hey, thanks for the props, HR Guy!
I just finished reading “The 80/20 Principle” by Richard Koch and that’s basically his arguement as well. To paraphrase, he said 80 percent of your productivity comes from 20 percent of your work so you should focus on that 20 percent.
