Review Your Responsibilities
Take a blank piece of paper and divide it into quadrants with a pen. Label one of the vertical columns “Like to do” and label the other vertical “Don’t like to do.” Next, label one of the horizontal rows “Need to do” and the other “Don’t need to do.” You should be left with four boxes, each representing a different category:
Next, spend 15 minutes thinking about the activities that make up your job and sort them into each of the boxes. Remember, the “need to do” bucket doesn’t refer to whether your business needs this task to be done. It refers to whether you, personally, need to be the one to do it. For example, sending a monthly newsletter is important for my business, but it doesn’t require me to be the one doing the assembly and configuration.
