What is Working Smarter?

Build skills that last a lifetime

Working smarter isn’t about doing more. It’s about practical tools that have a measurable impact on the way you work - so you can get results without burning out.

Become more effective, more productive and more focused.
Experience a reduction in anxiety, feel more in control of your work and more engaged in what you do.

Working smarter means:
  • Focusing on what really matters, not just what’s urgent
  • Managing your time, energy, and attention effectively
  • Building habits and routines that make work smoother
  • Learning practical tools to reduce stress, improve collaboration, and get things done more quickly.

Working Smarter Learning gives you short, practical courses to help you develop these skills - at your own pace, for free.

Why Work Smarter?

Practical tools that have a measurable impact on the way you work.

Most of us are so busy getting things done, there’s no time to improve how things get done. Emails pile up. Priorities blur. The important work keeps getting pushed aside. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Working smarter isn’t about doing more - it’s about simple yet powerful techniques that help you be more productive, do your best work and stress less.
Work Smarter Not Harder
