Episode notes
Start Small And Scale Delegation
- Start by delegating small pieces of tasks rather than whole projects to build trust and skill.
- Increase delegation gradually as you and your assistant learn the workflow and priorities.
Delegate Forward Planning
- Delegate forward planning tasks like seasonality, travel, and school transitions to save time and reduce stress.
- Let assistants do the research to cut down choices and present only relevant options.
Weekly Brain-Dump Meetings
- Hold a short weekly call (e.g., 15 minutes) to brain-dump priorities and unblock your assistant.
- Use that regular communication to let the assistant reprioritize and remove tasks from your plate.
