Delete and Delegate

happen if we shifted our mindset? What if we asked yourselves, “Where can we delete and delegate?” Are there tasks that we can delete from our to-do-list? Are there responsibilities we can delegate? Try it and see what happens?
Examples:
- Have someone else get stamps at the post office, return packages, or pick up prescriptions.
- Delete product review request and surveys that have been in your inbox for months.
- Have others wash, dry, and fold laundry.
- Toss pledges and money solicitations that you’re not going to donate to within the next 3 months.
