Fed up with feeling flat-out? Sick of seeming swamped? Irritated by never-ending to-dos?
(Yeah, we lost the trick a bit there at the end. Alliteration’s hard.)
Well grab a coffee, sit up straight and pay attention. We’re about to set you on a path to the New You.
New You isn’t drowning in tasks. New You is the master of time management. New You gets it all done with time left over.
Here’s how.
It feels like modern adulting wasn’t made for mere mortals. Work hard! Go out with your friends! Family night! Daily exercise! Recycle! Hydrate! DIY home repair! Volunteer! Self-care! And don’t forget to work hard!
A lot of people can’t even talk about maintaining work life balance because that would imply they have a balance to maintain.
We’ve got you, superhero. We know you’re doing your best. Now let’s get you balanced so your days feel less like, “Aah! Stress!” and more like “Ahh, yes.”
Most busy professionals are great at planning all the Things That Need to be Done. It’s in the actual doing of the things that the plan goes wonky.
That’s because most busy professionals are missing a key team member: an accountability partner.
Accountability is the glue that sticks commitment to results. It’s what keeps “I will post five times a week to LinkedIn” from turning into “I planned to post to LinkedIn, but I got busy. And then I felt bad for not doing it, so now I’m scrolling TikTok for kitten videos.”
Meet Dave. Dave’s a fantastic closer. He has the potential to be the company’s Number One All-Star sales rep. There’s just one problem. Dave’s sales productivity is in the gutter.
He’s great at chatting up customers, warming up leads and closing deals. But Dave only spends a fraction of his week actually doing those things. The rest of the time, he’s researching prospects, writing proposals and using two fingers to punch information into the CRM.
Dave is like a lot of sales reps. He’s a likable, gregarious bloke who’s great at getting people to sign on the dotted line.
He’s not so great at sitting in an office tending to mundane administrative details.
You know, the stuff thattakes up more than 70% of his time.
You know those managers who look like they have it all together? Their business is growing, they give back to their community and they still make it to all of little Timmy’s soccer games.
You could envy those folks. You could be annoyed by them. You could sigh wistfully and wish you were more like them. But the best thing you could do is learn from them. Lucky for you, we know their secret. 🤫
They can do it all because they don’t try to do it all. They’ve mastered the art of delegation. Someone else handles the minor-but-important tasks that keep things running, freeing up the manager’s time to focus on the big things in their work and their personal life.
Fill your cup and get comfortable, because we’re about to teach you how to delegate like them.
