As a developer, marketer, digital entrepreneur, or any businessman, the first principle which comes to our mind is Hard work. This is yet misjudged, misunderstood, and has been most controversial for ages.
Hardwork ā”
Merriam Webster dictionary gives a good definition for " hardworking "
Mark this, It says energetic work.
The next questions in your mind will clear your doubts
Why do you work hard?
There is a strong purpose involved in your work, if you don't know your vision, purpose, and goal, though you spend 24 hours on undefined, it won't be fruitful.
So, the straight answer is,
"You work hard to make your routine, life, and situations better and add more definition to it, easier than the present. This is the outcome that justifies the reason for working hard."
There are certain principles I would like to share to make your hard work energetic and intelligent.
Principles
As a developer and an evangelist, I used to often forget to manage simple things earlier. I believe everyone has gone through similar circumstances. But I would like to remind you once again.
Time Management ā
Managing Time is the most neglected and important aspect for anyone.
You have several simple ways to do that:
- Track time
- Pre-plan your day
- Make a long-term road map
- Don't forget your achievements
But for all this, I recently started to use a tool called toggl track
Very simple and easy to fix and enhance your routine. At the end of the day, you get to analyze your report card.
Imagine, a simple tool like this can make your hard work continuous and efficient.
You can see above as I am tracking time while thinking, and exploring writing this blog.
Pomodoro technique š“
A simple way to commit 25 minutes every day for a specific task to improve efficiency. Most of the developers use this to become experts in a certain skill.
Read a nice article about Pomodoro
Even I didn't take this technique seriously, but I tried for one whole week and I couldn't imagine the benefits. It is a mindset aligner.
Conclusion
Imagine simple strategies like these will help you become better, efficient, and more productive in very minimal time. But yes, it requires your focus and consistency to enjoy long-term fruits.
I repeat, hard work is originally done to maximize your outcomes in minimum time.
For example,
You took 25 minutes to search for an answer from stack overflow. But now you can minimize that time if you manage your routine efficiently by following the above techniques. and now, you can switch to the next important task.

Working hard doesn't mean to work for long hours.

But you work HARD to MAXIMIZE the efficiency and to MINIMIZE the time/effort.
