Delegation is not about doing less work; it’s about working smarter, making the most of the time you have and knowing when to pass some of your work on to others.
Think of your time as a limited jar of marbles. Every task you take on is like adding another marble to that jar. The problem? When you try to cram too many tasks—too many marbles—into your life, your jar overflows. What’s the solution to this all-too-common scenario? Delegation. It’s the act of handing over some of your marbles to someone else, effectively making room in your own jar and avoiding the dreaded overflow.
