Work Smarter Not Harder

In Dan Pink’s Free Agent Nation: The Future of Working for Yourself, he closes the book with a long, excellent list of “Work Smarter Not Harder” type advice for people who want to start working for themselves. 【小题1】 Below are my favorites.

●Make a “to don’t” list. Prepare a list that contains all the things you shouldn’t waste your time on—useless tasks, unnecessary meetings, worthless phone calls, and so on. 【小题2】

●Carry a notebook and pen. Thomas Edison did it. Virginia Woolf did it. And so did Charles Darwin. They carried a notebook with them everywhere and wrote down ideas that popped into their heads. 【小题3】 Trust me: This is a fantastic way to explore ideas and to weave creativity into the fabric of your life.

● 【小题4】 Become a learning machine. Ask questions. Take smart people to lunch. Read. Read some more. Listen to audiobooks. Take classes. Added benefit: This makes life more interesting. Yet another benefit: Studies have shown that people who make constant learning part of their lives end up living longer.

●Guard your calendar. Make sure your time is focused on your one or two top priorities(优先解决的事物). Ask yourself: “Is this how I want to be spending my time right now?” Remember: You are your calendar. 【小题5】

●Respond to calls and e-mails quickly. Even if your response is, “I’ll get back to you,” try to get back to people within 24 hours. They’ll appreciate the politeness.

Popularity is a social phenomenon and being popular refers to the quality of being widely liked or accepted by the people. Being popular is very important because being popular boosts your self-esteem and makes you feel good about yourself and popularity is positively linked to job satisfaction, individual job performance and group performance. Most people would like to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal. 【小题1】 In fact, it is very simple.

Look your best.

First impressions and positive impressions are very important to being popular, so pay attention to how you look. Looking your best doesn’t mean you have to wear the most expensive clothes or have the fanciest, most costly hairdo. 【小题2】

Smile.

Smiling is just the very first step in you becoming one of the most popular guys. It makes people feel good when you smile. But you don’t have to pretend to do it all the time.【小题3】 Even when things aren’t going too well and you force a smile, the sensitive person picks this up and can research into reasons for your mixed feelings.

【小题4】

One way to be popular is to focus on being “interested”, not “interesting”. Eye contact shows you’re interested in someone, both in general situations and in romantic ones. The expression in your eyes conveys a lot and people can notice levels of warmth and concern.

Listen more than you talk.

【小题5】 When you’re listening, try responding with your body to what’s being said-it will help you a lot. In other words, you can nod at a proper time and make facial expressions to convey information. If you come across as a person who listens, other people will want to be around you.

If we can do all of the above, it is certain that the popularity will come your way.
