<?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {$id = $category->cat_ID;} ?>

     <ul class="recentWorks">
             <?php
            if (have_posts()) : {
            $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
            query_posts("&cat={echo $id;}&showposts=6&paged=$paged&order=ASC");
            }
            while(have_posts()) : the_post();

  2. You can use arguement :-

    'post__not_in' => array (get_the_ID())

    which will exclude the current post from the list
    Like this you can use Wp_Query()

    $args = array(
    'cat' => '{echo $id;}',
    'post__not_in' => array (get_the_ID())
);

$query1 = new WP_Query( $args );

// The Loop
while ( $query1->have_posts() ) {
    $query1->the_post();
    echo '<li>' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
}
