Did you know that delegating one 15 minute task per day at work, gains you 1 hour, 15 minutes  per week?
 
Sometimes it is hard to delegate work, so here are some things to keep in mind when handing off tasks to others:
  • Get over the fear of losing control.
  • Make yourself available for advice, meet regularly.
  • Give up tasks, even if you like to do them.
  • Focus on the results, not on how it gets done.
Remember to let go of Perfectionism when delegating.  The process will never be perfect, so learn from your experiences and make adjustments as you go.  In the long run, you will save yourself a lot of valuable time.

Lose Your Stuff, Find Yourself...
 
May is "Older Americans Month."  Here is a little tip from Lori's book "Lose Your Stuff, Find Yourself" that is applicable to not only Seniors, but everyone.  
 
"Get your home organized while you're healthy and capable of making smart decisions.  If you become ill or need to downsize in a hurry, having an organized home will make it easier for everyone involved."
