What does it mean to work smarter? Jay Cross defines working smarter, in The Working Smarter Fieldbook, as follows:
"Working smarter is the key to sustainability and continuous improvement. Knowledge work and learning to work smarter are becoming indistinguishable. The accelerating rate of change in business forces everyone in every organization to make a choice: learn while you work or become obsolete."

Over 200 people have already accessed the materials, and here is just one email I received from a participant:
"I am a current participant in the September some4job ‘uncourse’ and have to say I am quite enjoying it. I really like the idea of a short pre-determined time but no requirements to keep up or hand things in. Your topics are great too and of interest to me. I will be recommending my faculty join the next round."
