The Art of Delegating

If I could give a few tips to my younger self, the list would start with these:

Drink more water
Go for a facial and a massage once a month
Hire people to help out with your daily routine

The first two are, I think, fairly self-explanatory! However I want to elaborate on the third point…

I used to think that it’s more beneficial if I clean my own house, cook my own food, work in my garden and organise trips myself. In this way I can control how things are done and can ensure they are done exactly how I want it. If you have stable income such as through a full-time job, it is a great way to save some money. However the situation is drastically different if you have a side business, or you are a full-time entrepreneur working on your own thing where your time is, quite literally, money.

Barista Coffee in Your Home

For me, the perfect day starts like this:

I wake up naturally five minutes before the alarm, feeling refreshed

I jump out of bed and spring straight into the shower

Feeling refreshed and cleansed, I make a healthy breakfast

I brew the perfect coffee

Reading the news, I enjoy my breakfast and my delicious coffee

I dive into my work for the day, with a smile on my face and a glint in my eye

As you can probably guess, the above list was created with my tongue firmly placed within my cheek. The truth of the matter is that none of those steps actually occur for me – except one.
