About Working Smarter

Welcome!

Working Smarter is the official weblog of SmartDraw.com, the maker of the intuitive, easy-to-use business graphics software, SmartDraw.

Working Smarter isn't about SmartDraw-at least not entirely. Working Smarter is about increasing productivity and becoming a better manager.

Here are some of the topics that we cover on Working Smarter:

  • Self-management and personal productivity (time management, task management, brainstorming, etc...)
  • Group management (project management, managing organizations)
  • Presentations
  • Helpful, time-saving shortcuts
  • The role of business graphics in the workplace
