How to Spend More Time Doing the Things You Love

How to spend more time doing the things you love (and supercharge your productivity).

The Time Audit System:

The Audit

Understanding where your time goes is the first step to boosting your time and energy.

Start by auditing your time for the next 2 weeks.

Document every 30 mins - what are you focusing on?

The Energy Audit

Ask yourself - which tasks energize you and which drain you?

Your energy levels are a powerful guide to where you need to focus your time and efforts.

Follow your energy to find your unfair advantages.

What Can You Delegate?

Evaluate your list.

What doesn't require your input?

What can be done by others to at least 90% of your quality?

Now, delegate these.

What Can You Eliminate?

Be ruthless.

Some tasks might not need to be done.

• Make a list of every task you have
• Decide if the task is actually adding value
• Slash anything that doesn't move the needle

What Can You Automate?

Review your list again - are there tasks that could be automated?

With tools like:

• ChatGPT
• Zapier
• Bard

There's a good chance you can automate your task.

Smart Delegation

Delegation isn't about dumping tasks on others.

It's about smart allocation.

Look at your team and decide who is best equipped to handle the task.

Create Systems

For every task you delegate, create a system.

This will:

• Minimize your input
• Ensure higher quality work
• Reduce unnecessary communication

Creating a repeatable process begets consistency.

Consistency begets success.

Document The System

Record a walkthrough of the system.

It gives the person you delegate work to something to refer to.

I personally use @usebubbles

Do the work only you can do.

Let your systems handle the rest.

Double Down on Your “Zone of Genius”

These are tasks that you excel at and that energize you.

Efficient delegation and automation give you time to focus on your zone of genius.

Zero in on these and you will be untouchable.
