There are many ways to do your work; here are six habits that will make you work smarter and more efficiently.

1. Work on your own cycle.

There are days when you are inclined to work less, such as Fridays. And days when you feel more energetic and thus inclined to work more ... such as Mondays?! Know your own cycle, and work around it by scheduling the most important tasks during your most productive time.

2. Set daily goals.

Set small goals every day so that you are motivated to achieve things. Reaching your goals each and every time will strengthen your sense of achievement and drive you to more and more small successes, which eventually result in big ones.

3. Choose your routine.

When you are doing something positive and productive, try to make it a habit. If something is positive, why not do it every day?

4. Know your flaws.

Make an assessment of your own weaknesses. Knowing your flaws will allow you to avoid areas where you are not very efficient.

 5. Limit your short-term goals.

It is nice to engage in more than one project, but focusing on one goal will help you excel more. Attention is split as more goals emerge, keep them few and give them your full attention.

6. Choose your thoughts.

It is easy to say this won't work and be negative amid all the stress you have. Replace your negative thoughts with positive ones. Keep saying to yourself that things will work out OK.
