DELEGATE: The Task That Resets Every Week — and Doesn't Have to Be Yours

Tip No. 3

Recurring tasks are sneaky. They're manageable enough that we never question them, and frequent enough that they consistently consume a surprising amount of our time and mental energy. We just absorb them, week after week, as part of the cost of running a life.

But recurring also means the payoff from delegating compounds. Hand something off once, and you get that time back every single week.

THIS WEEK’S DELEGATE TIP:

Identify one recurring task on your list and take the first step toward delegating it this week.

Groceries, housecleaning, yard work, bookkeeping. . . pick the one that resets most often and that you enjoy the least. Then figure out who or what could own it instead.

You don't have to solve the whole thing today. The first step might just be a search, a conversation, or a single ask. But this task will reset next week either way. The only question is whether it resets on your list or someone else's.

SIT WITH THIS

Which task on my list will definitely be back next week, and what would it mean to make this the last week I do it myself?

One task, still done, just not by you. See what opens up.
