I’m sure everyone knows the saying “work smarter, not harder”, and that idea is kind of what I want to focus on today.

Working in a way that works best for you is always the most important thing when it comes to being productive. Everyone works better at different times of day, or in a different place, and that is OK. If you work best in the morning, work then, but if someone else works best in the afternoon, allow them to do so, because no one works in exactly the same way.

Creating an environment where you work best is also important, having a place that you can look at as a work place makes a massive difference because it means you can differentiate working and relaxing. Obviously this isn’t always possible with regards to different rooms, but even having a section of your room that you only use for work can make a difference.

This is all something I finally realised when I resat my third year of university, and these are things I still do even now because they work!

I hope this can be something helpful to people, it’s just a thought I had whilst working today.

Try to stay positive and productive people, and for today, this is Conor, signing off
