It’s time to start thinking about delegating differently.
Many of us have been in this situation before; our to-do list keeps piling up but the hours in the day do not. Over and over we try to squeeze it all in. We end up overwhelmed and stretching ourselves too thin. Sometimes it’s just not possible to wear all the hats but prioritizing and delegating can be such a challenge. When everything feels important it can be hard to decide what tasks we should hand off and how to even begin doing that. Then there’s the cost. It’s time to start thinking about delegating differently. As an investment in yourself. A tool to help you utilize your talents and abilities to the fullest. A way to live life in a healthier, more positive and productive way. Your time is valuable and once gone, you will never get it back.
Delegation and time management are learned skills that with patience and perseverance get easier and more rewarding over time. To truly make it valuable you must know what your time is worth. This is a vital benchmark that you should use when outsourcing anything. You must also find a good brilliant candidate that’s ready to hit the ground running. If you use your hours saved and invest the time back into something that grows your business, you’re able to create new revenue and the assistance will pay for itself. Delegating strategically and effectively will ensure it’s worth your investment.
The first few weeks will involve some trial and error. Just because you can hand off certain tasks, doesn’t necessarily mean you should. Start with simple tasks that just need to be checked off your list. Next, to find your cadence, you’ll want to add variety to your tasks and determine which tasks are really helping to leverage your time and creating a rhythm of success. The biggest benefit will come from delegating your reoccurring tasks. Although you may find yourself questioning why you should spend 3 hours teaching someone else how to do a task that you can complete yourself in an hour, think of that 1-hour task permanently off your plate. What else could you spend 1 hour a day (or more) completing?
