Feeling overwhelmed at work, at home, or both? There is a one-word solution – delegate. According to author and Time Stylers CEO Kate Christie (timestylers.com) we mistakenly think it’s easier if we just do it ourselves.
“However, if you continue to do everything yourself you will quickly run out of time for the tasks you are best at, and which you love doing,” she says.
Not sure how to let go? Kate suggests where and how to start.
DELEGATING AT HOME
‘Insourcing’ is where you identify all the tasks you perform for the people you live with that they can do for themselves and you don’t have to pay for. Happily, the list of what your family can do for themselves is endless. Family is a team sport!
TWO INSOURCING TRAPS TO AVOID:
TRAP 1:
The ‘Oh my God, my kids/partner have left their wet towels on the floor again’ trap. And then what do you do? You pick up and hang the towels. You know you do this. Is it any wonder your family don’t pick their towels up for themselves?
SOLUTION:
You are breaking two habits here: (i) the habit of your family who are used to leaving their stuff lying around because they know you will pick it up and put it away, and (ii) your habit of picking it up and putting it away. Stay strong.
