THE MAGIC THREE POINTS
When considering the tasks to outsource, ensure the following:
1. Choose the right task.
2. Identify the right person or source to outsource to.
3. Take the time to outsource the task with the right level of detail
and support.
• Point 3 may take some time but, remember, this is an investment of
your time.
• E.g., hiring a cleaner may involve some time to research the right
service provider, arrange a schedule, and show them around your
home, but it will save you time in the future.

WHERE DO I START?

• Think about your to-do list for the week ahead and start by striking out things that onlyyou can do.
• Highlight the tasks that you have to do regularly (e.g. not a one-off isolated task).
