We are born with specific talents and passions. We also develop skills from our education, circumstances, and opportunities. These are the things we should develop and nurture.Every thing is not for everyone.
Sometimes when we may find ourselves procrastinating about completing a task, it may be one does not use our talents or abilities.
This may be an excellent time to consider delegating the task to leave more time for us to enjoy doing things which do best.
Delegation is asking another to complete all of part of a task.
At first, this may be easier said than done. We may worry about letting go.
Some reasons why we may not be comfortable delegating are:
-1- We are afraid of losing control. “Nobody can do this task as well as I can or the way I want it done.”
-2- We must ask for help. We are used to doing everything ourselves. We may be afraid to be turned down.
-3- Fear of being incompetent. We do better focusing on what we enjoy and do best, than struggling with tasks we are just not good at. We may think we are weak.
-4- The cost. There are several ways to have help which does not include cash payments – such as trade, ask a family member, ask an employee.
Next time we find ourselves stuck with completing a task, consider who you may ask to help us or do it for us.
