There are
two important time-savers that I teach clients and practice myself. One is to
build a strong Life Team around you—people who complement your strengths with
their expertise. Second is to identify and focus on what I call
HLAs—these are high-leverage activities, the things that matter most in
achieving our goals.
These
days I can confidently delegate things to my Life Team and thus create plenty
of room on the calendar for my HLAs. I’m clear on what my time is worth, and I
make decisions accordingly.
A good
way to look at delegation is to examine your goals and activities and identify
which things absolutely cannot be delegated, like lunch with a key client or
time spent with your mentor. Now identify those things that can be effectively
handled by people on your Life Team. Let them make the follow-up calls to sales
prospects, or field résumés from job candidates.
Once you
start delegating with a strategy in mind, it can become addictive, and you’ll
want to delegate more; this can give you more time and energy to focus on the
things you do best and enjoy most. You will see immediate results because
you’re spending more minutes and hours focusing on the short list of things
that really matter to you.
