Change your life by Delegating Tasks

There is something major to be said about delegating. I've heard this advice many times and it never seemed like something I had the power to do.

"The definition of delegate is: entrust (a task or responsibility) to another person, typically one who is less senior than oneself."

It took me a long time to understand and find ways to delegate things that actually made a difference in my life and I could afford.

I heard so many times, hire someone to do the things you don't like doing, or things you find easy but take a lot of your time. It's helpful to have someone do easy tasks while you focus on the bigger things. I just never felt like I could afford an assistant or to have employees etc. I kept thinking only in terms of my business. But like they say, RUN YOUR LIFE LIKE A BUSINESS"..

I finally realized a specific area in my life that was weighing on me heavily and taking lots of time and effort. This was something anyone could do and took a lot of energy out of my day.

It is cleaning my house. It took me hours to sweep, and mop, wash bedding, and do dishes, clean the tubs and toilets and throw away trash. I would dust and declutter and clean the garage. Even with the help of my family. This takes hours a week on top of a full time job, a business and a few clients.

There were days I didn't have the energy because I worked all day and also cooked dinner. So I would leave it. Leave the mess until the next day. The mess however, was on my mind all night and the next day. Overwhelming was an understatement.

I finally reached out for help, budgeted it in my bills, and hired a wonderful person to help me keep my home clean. She's kind and professional and I am so grateful.

I find myself working with a more clear mind. I can sit down and relax after a hard day. I feel so reassured things are clean and even the sheets have been washed.

This was something I always took pride in and felt like IT WAS MY JOB. This was the very thing in my way of having more freedom. Now I can paint more, and cook meals without feeling tired before I begin. It feels like I have an assistant in the best way. My mood is better and my focus is more clear. Oh how delegating has saved me.

I encourage you to think about something you can delegate to make your life easier and help you focus on more important things like your creative work, your family time and your peace. This will be different for everyone. Get creative and live your best life! You get to create your reality. Remember that.
