Business owners often feel overwhelmed; like they can’t get it all done. There is not enough hours in a day.
One way to get your work done at the end of a day or week, is to have less to do.
You can work mightily on getting more done every day. You can be more efficient and squeeze productivity into every minute. You can work longer, but the limitation to that shows up pretty quickly.
Or, you can prioritize, and only do what is most important.
You can get others to do the rest by delegation, outsourcing, or hiring. You can just stop doing things that are unimportant.
Decide what is your job and what is not your job.
Yes you are responsible for getting things done. That is very different from you having to do them.
By framing your job correctly and doing less, and focusing on the most important work, you can be most effective and get your work done.
I am making progress on this one as I and the company matures, and the team continues to step up, and I continue to ask them to do so. Getting the right people in the right seats is an on-going challenge that causes ebbs and flows with my to do list.
Good timing on this one.
