Yes, "it" has to be done --

But does it have to be done by you?

 

In this ever increasingly busy world that we live in today there seems to be more and more that needs to be done.  More projects, tasks, errands -- responsibilities of all size and shape.  We get so busy "doing" all these things that we often forget to check in on whether they need to be done at all or by whom.

 

When you find yourself overwhelmed take a few moments out and analyze just what is going on. Take and ask yourself a few questions!

 

What is really going on?  Does this task really need to be done?  Does it need to be done now?  And, assuming you have determined that it is a legitimate task, does it need to be done by YOU?

 

Often times we get so engrossed in seeing the end result (getting "it" done) we fail to question whether or not we are the best person for the job.  Even though you are indeed capable of accomplishing the task is that really the best use of your time?

 

We need to concentrate on what we are uniquely suited to do and delegate the items / tasks that others can do as well.  Yes, it does require us to take time to train someone in the way we want the task done but that short training time is far outweighed by your having more time in the future to concentrate on you unique -- highly productive (and profitable) -- abilities.

 

Take time out and ask yourself "Does this need to be done? And does it need to be done by ME?"
