How to work hard easily!

Now, how to master this skill. Here are ten rules for taking the hard way out of your job. Try these proven
methods for working hard easily. They will help you to relax and have easy power.

1. Don‘t get the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. Don’t strain so hard. Don’t take
yourself so seriously.

2. Determine to like your work. Then it will become a plea- sure, not drudgery. Perhaps you do not need to
change your job. Change yourself and your work will seem differ- ent.

3. Plan your work—work your plan. Lack of system pro- duces that “I’m swamped” feeling.

4. Don’t try to do everything at once. That is why time is spread out. Heed that wise advice from the Bible, “This
one thing I do.”

5. Get a correct mental attitude, remembering that ease or difficulty in your work depends upon how you think
about it. Think it‘s hard and you make it hard. Think it’s easy and it tends to become easy.

6. Become efficient in your work. “Knowledge is power” (over your job). It is always easier to do a thing right.
7. Practice being relaxed. Easy always does it. Don’t press or tug. Take it in your stride.

8. Discipline yourself not to put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Accumulation of undone jobs makes
your work harder. Keep your work up to schedule.

 

9. Pray about your work. You will get relaxed efficiency by so doing.

10. Take on the “unseen partner.” It is surprising the load He will take off you. God is as much at home in
offices, fac- tories, stores, kitchens, as in churches. He knows more about your job than you do. His help will
make your work easy.
