The Art of
Delegation
No man is an island. There might be some people who
disagree with this saying, thinking that they can live happily by
themselves and theres no need for anybody elses help.
While some may adopt the philosophy If you want to
do it right, you got to do it yourself, we still need other peoples
help sooner or later. And when it comes to effective time
management, delegating or assigning tasks to others is a must.
You might think that doing it all yourself would
make you a hero. Nope, it would only eat up a lot more of your time
time you could spend in doing other things that could make you feel
more satisfied or accomplished. Also, who would like to do things
they dont enjoy? You only live once, so make the most of it.

There are many unemployed people who would be
willing to do the jobs for you, if the price is right. But how do
you determine if its really worth it to hire someone else in
exchange for your hard-earned money?
Write down the more enjoyable or more satisfying
things that you can do, as a result of not engaging in tasks you
dont enjoy. I believe youll live a more fulfilling life by shedding
out a few dollars in exchange for some valuable free time. After
all, money can be replaced anytime, but lost time can never be
reclaimed. |
