Hard work - It means that you work in a gruelling manner; for instance, spending 10+ hours studying for an exam.

Smart work - Smart work can go hand in hand with hard work. But 'smart work' means that you use an efficient method to finish a particular task. For instance, referring the above example, you use a specific method to study for an exam that saves your time, as well as prepares you for it perfectly.

Darshan Jain
Sir, I would like to give an example- consider if X amount of work is done in particular time then the same amount of work could be achieved in less time with the help of some ideas or modification in process. Which will not only reduces the time and load but also increase s efficiency? And that is the main difference between both.
Divya Markana

Hard work leads to Smart work.

If you work hard in the beginning you can learn new things, which can help you to work smartly. In hard work your Body leads, but, in smart work, your brain leads.

Dharti Kapadiya

Both hard work and smart work give solution for a particular problem but smart work gives a solution in a minimum time with more brain usage than hard work.

Ultimately, smart work is the best option to save time as well as to improve mental ability/skill/knowledge.

Ramachandran
Do work with spending more physical effort and less mental effort is hard work. Do work with spending more mental effort and less physical effort is smart work.
