你忙到连自己的时间都没了：三招找回你的时间

If you are ever going to fully trust someone else to do the job, you first must extract detailed information from your brain. Keep notes in a file on your computer or on a little pad every time you work on a Have To task. A few minutes of writing each time you do the task will create a complete insider's guide in no time. These little guides help potential delegates get tasks close to right the first time. Ultimately, these guidance manuals and a little tolerance on your part for imperfections will help your team grow more confident and efficient.

Assuming the people around you are ready, willing, and able to take on new assignments, they probably lack the information and training. If you keep waiting to teach them until the task is upon you, they'll never be capable of freeing you from the task. Be proactive by using casual time to educate new people. Whether it's one person or 20, buy lunch for anyone who wants to learn. A few meals later, you'll have plenty of alternative resources when you are ready to focus your time and energy back on Love To tasks.

One person's dreaded task may be another person's dream job. Create a physical or electronic message board in an easily seen place in your environment where people can list tasks they are anxious to pass along. Offer desirable rewards to those who will learn, take on, and perform these tasks to acceptable standards. You'll encourage a culture of empowerment by saying any job is here for the taking and simply pointing to the board when someone asks: Hey! How does a person get bonuses or promotions around here?
