Doing the same thing again and again with no change in the technique is hard work.

Smart work is to use some better technique for doing the same task in minimal time and efforts.

Hard work and smart work both connect to work but when we work by physical efforts then it called hard work and when we work by mental intelligence in short time then it called smart work.

I have 10rs and I want to go to a place which will cost me 20rs if I go by bus or we can go there by walking. That is hard work.

I will go by bus halfway and then I will go by walking that is smart work.

We can finish our work by our efforts is referred as hard work.

If we finish it with less time and efforts that will be a smart work.

Hard work tends to physical effort.
While smart work tends to mental effort.

In short, hard work= 20% brain effort + 80% physical effort.
And smart work = 20% physical effort + 80% brain effort.
