7 TIME DRAINING TASKS TO DELEGATE NOW
1. Clerical tasks. Do not do this yourself. From answering phones to coping with your correspondence, employ an assistant or a service to handle these. 2. Research. Is it sometimes necessary to find market data, a new software application, or an analysis of a particular issue? Do not spend scarce time doing it yourself.

You can make it even easier by recording your thoughts and then passing a copy of the recording to an administrative assistant for processing.

While it’s a good idea to know about all the parts of your business, even how to deal with your website, recruiting a helper is the best solution in terms of productivity. 7. Personal errands. As a busy person, hiring somebody to do your personal errands will free you up to work on the important things. It also gives you that much needed break when you just want to relax at home. Having somebody to do personal errands like renewing subscriptions, addressing snail mail, dry cleaning, or meeting deliveries and repair people at home can free up time that may be spent doing things more purposeful.[Tweet “14 Tasks To Delegate and Reclaim More Time”]
