3. Smart Work VS Hard Work
● Multitasking is a myth anyway. Human minds are not
capable of doing multiple things at a time.
● Improve concentration, and try to pursue focused work and
complete tasks one at a time. (Avoid spending time on social
media and navigating from links while at work)
● Join a 5am club (choose your time) and plan your day. Planning
makes things better.
● Avoid using sticky notes, it will distract from you from
works. Note down all your to-dos to ‘any. do’ app (use any to-do
apps) and put reminders, and leave your head free.
● Make a library for reusable components and use it wisely
on critical works.

knowledge sharing.

projects on time.

1) Give an approx value and date to the goal.
2) Break down the goal
3) Discuss about your goal to four people

Viola! it will happen!
