We’re often told that delegating our work lets us concentrate on other tasks. While that’s true, it isn’t always possible.
When it’s time to work on a project, many times it’s easier and more advantageous for you to get it done on you own rather than spend time looking for someone to train.
The project’s size makes a difference, too. If you believe it’s a manageable task, you do it yourself because timing plays a huge part in completing the work and getting paid.
My project list has expanded in the past week. I perform tedious work that takes lots of time because of my own meticulousness, but in the end I believe it will pay off. Here’s an example.
One of my books will be updated later this year. My editor called last week, and we decided that the revised manuscript will be delivered by December. That gives me four months to review the previous edition, pour over the text, edit and include new information, and interview businesses to be profiled.
Because the book is my vision, I’ve decided to complete this project on my own.
How do you incorporate delegation? All of us have different ways of completing projects because our professions are very different. I’d love to delegate more, but most times it’s impossible.
Do you find yourself in similar situations, or is delegation an easy process?
