When I know I have to work in the morning, my days are spent relaxed and with new hopes of giving my best out there. When you know you are contributing to the world, it’s a new kind of feeling.

Ever wondered how you can do your tasks in lesser time and before the deadline? Not facing the fury of your boss and coming out successful? Here are the 10 Smart Tip for Brilliant Efficiency which will make your work easier, faster and improved.

1) Organize

When you are given tasks and you don’t know which one to give top priority. Stop. Make a list of all those tasks and rank them according to the deadline.

If you see yourself doing 3 tasks at once just prevent it from happening further. Make sure you do them one by one so there is less confusion and distraction.

1. Failing to include basic greetings.

Simple pleasantries do the trick. Say “hi” at the start of the message and “thanks” at the end. Be sure to use the recipient’s name. Be polite yet brief with your courtesy.

2. Expecting an instant response.

Don’t send an email and show up at the recipient’s desk 30 seconds later asking if they’ve received it. They did, and they’ll answer at their convenience. That’s the point of email.

3. Sending before you mean to.

Enter the recipient’s email address only when your email is ready to be sent. This helps reduce the risk of an embarrassing misfire, such as sending an important email to the wrong person or emailing a half-written note.

4. Not reviewing all new messages before replying.

When you return to the office after being away, review all new emails before firing off responses. It might be hard to accept, but odds are, things did march on without you. Replying to something that was already handled by a co-worker can lead to confusion, errors, and wasted time.

5. Omitting recipients when you “reply all.”

Unless there’s an important reason to omit someone, don’t arbitrarily leave people off the response if they were included on the original message.

Mistakes are often made with word usage. Unfortunately, it’s not something that can always be remedied with spell checker.

Here is a list of ten common word usage mistakes with explanations and examples of proper use:

1. There vs. Their vs. They’reThere is an indication of location.
   Example: I want to see that book over there.

   Their is a possessive version of they.
   Example: They took their dog to the groomer.

   They’re is a contraction, short for they are.
   Example: They’re going to the theatre tonight.

2. A lot vs. Allot vs. AlotA lot is an indication of amount.
   Example: I have a lot of laundry to do.

   Allot means to distribute.
   Example: I will allot you two cookies.

   Alot is not a word.

3. I.e. vs. E.g.I.e. means “in other words.”
   Example: Writing more articles increases your website traffic. I.e., it will bring you more exposure.

   E.g. means “for example.”
   Example: I have a lot of chores to do. E.g., laundry, dishes, vacuuming, dusting, etc.

2. SMILE: It takes 72 muscles to frown and 14 to smile.

4. Be friendly & helpful: and others will respond in like manner.
5. Speak & act: as if everything you do is a genuine pleasure.
6. Be genuinely interested in people.

I’m always amazed that more people don’t know the little tricks you can use to get more out of a simple Google search. Here are 10 of my favorites.

1. Use the “site:” operator to limit searches to a particular site. I use this one all the time, and it’s particularly handy because many site’s built-in search tools don’t return the results you’re looking for (and some sites don’t even have a search feature). If I’m looking for WWD posts about GTD, for example, I could try this search: GTD site:webworkerdaily.com.

2. Use Google as a spelling aid. As Rob Hacker — the WWD reader I profiled last week — pointed out, entering a word into Google is a quick way to see if you have the right spelling. If it’s incorrect, Google will suggest the correct spelling instead. Additionally, if you want to get a definition of a word, you can use the “define:” operator to return definitions from various dictionaries (for example, define: parasympathetic).

It’s a basic fact of life that, unless you’re Tony Robbins, you can’t get along with everyone. Unfortunately, it’s also a fact that throughout your life, you’ll be in situations where you simply have to communicate with some of those people you just can’t stand. This may be an annoying boss, an ingratiating fan, a spineless co-worker, a difficult client, an abrasive in-law, and any number of people with any number of faults.

8 )  You will go from goat to hero and back again multiple times within any given day.

7) Certifications won’t always help you become a better technologist, but they can help you land a better job or pay raise.

6) Your non-technical co-workers will use you as personal tech support for their PC’s.
