The best time
to delegate tasks
is BEFORE we need
to delegate tasks.
It is VERY challenging
to delegate tasks
when we are super busy.
Why?
Because delegation,
at first,
sucks up more time.
We have to train the person
taking on the task.
We have to quality check
their work.
We have to assure them
they’re doing a great job
and answer their questions.
Delegate
BEFORE you have to delegate.
Your future self
will thank you.
I have currently delegated
a task
to someone
who gets things done
but always does everything
at the last moment.
It is testing me
especially as I’m someone
who prefers to complete tasks
well in advance.
I remind myself
that his track record
of completing tasks
is dang near 100%.
I am keeping myself busy
with other tasks.
I have scheduled
once a day
check ups with him.
He won’t have anything done
but this stops me
from checking with him
every five minutes.
If you are finding
delegating
challenging,
put systems in place
to help you
manage.
This is
a YOU problem.
YOU need a strategy
to deal with it.
