Don’t Do Everything Yourself

Long road trip with my wife, 2 x dogs and cat in the car listening to “Who Not How” by Dan Sullivan.

I love this book. It shows you how to work smarter by categorizing tasks and responsibilities based on their importance and who should do them:

Unique Ability: What you do best, focus on these tasks.

Excellent but Not Unique: Important tasks that can be done by others with the right skills. Delegate.

Competent: Tasks you can do, but they don’t utilize your unique abilities. Delegate.

Incompetent: Unimportant tasks not in line with your abilities. Avoid or Delegate.
