*This is an article which I wrote for my college newsletter Atulya.
Hi guys! Hope you are all fine and
in a fit state for the next trimester after the stressful exams! Stress takes a
crucial place in our brains while doing our program. We've been late to morning
classes, working all night, preparing for presentations (If you really work in
the team!), studying for quiz, mid-term, etc. All this really means a lot of
stress.
Has anyone ever thought of ways
which you could use to stamp out the stress you are experiencing presently?
Have your ever thought of being like the ever cool people even in these
situations? What do you think they've been doing? Its nothing but Smart
Work.
So, now you'll be thinking that the
title should have been something else! Hope you all know the 20-80 rule. Let me
apply that in a different way, 20 percent of Smart Work leads to 80 percent of
the productivity!
Classify your work into high and
less priorities, talk less, don't give up your usual entertainments. Do your
high priority work first. Concentrate on the work you do. You can finish up a 2
hour work in 1 hour with the highest level of concentration.
Manage your time well and don't ever
postpone work. We might be thinking that there's ample time for a work to be
done. But we might end up doing that work in the last minute. Trying to
avoid this mess would be a great help.
Last but not least, don't skip your
meals as it might badly affect your performance one or the other way. I've
added this point, mainly because a lot of people here do that.
I'm not here to tell you how to do
Smart Work, but I want to remind everybody that only Smart Work
will help while doing an MBA.
