Step By Step

Find a system that works for you and your lifestyle, and then apply it. At work, build a system that can replace you, the physical you, so that you can do more important (or fun) things. But always be aware of delegating tasks. Before you delegate or outsource time consuming tasks, you have to do elimination. Eliminate first those tasks that are not important. It is useless to delegate tasks that are not worth doing. You do not only waste your time, but also of others. This article will give you easy, yet necessary-to-follow steps, in doing elimination.

Know what you want. Have aspirations in life. What is the point of designing your own lifestyle if you don’t know what kind of life you want? Having a goal, whether it is to have vacation time once a month or something bigger, will be the driving force of your entire life. If you don’t know what you want in the long term, have something smaller for the moment. This will guide you later to bigger aspirations. The key is to have a destination, a point you have to reach.

Identify tasks. Once you know where you want to go, the next step will be to recognize tasks that will help you reach it. This will be easier now that you have a goal. Look at the tasks you are working on now. Most probably they are not leading you to the lifestyle you want. In every task you take on, always check if it will make you get to your aspirations faster. Know also what tasks you still have to undertake, and take action as soon as possible. Take action right this minute. Start preparing what you need in order to start on the task.

High Priority, Mid Priority, Waste. There are just three categories to put your tasks in. Tasks should go in the “high priority bin” if they are a must in achieving your aspirations, and if your goals will not be realized if these tasks are not taken. YOU will be doing these tasks. Your time should only be consumed of vacations, family, hobbies, and these high priority tasks. The rest will go to your “mid priority bin”, where you can ask someone else to do it, or pay someone to do it, and to your “waste bin”, where you throw it away and never think about it anymore. Mid priority tasks are tasks that will help you achieve the lifestyle you want (your aspirations), but are not the fundamental tasks. Even if you do not do them, you can still reach your goal. They are enhancers. They either make it easier or faster for you to reach your aspirations. They are not so important that’s why you can outsource them. Pay someone to do them or be resourceful and find someone who can do them for you without a cost. If you are not sure whether a certain task is important or not, then they also fall under this category. You put them on hold and return to them when you can. One by one you will realize which of these tasks should be done, and which should be eliminated. Lastly, the waste bin. The tasks you eliminate because they are just that—WASTES.

Eliminate to Obtain. This step will free you. Eliminate to obtain the lifestyle you desire and your aspirations. Just let it go. They do not help you, but hinder you from getting to your destination.

Remember, get rid of time wasters, stick with more focused actions and these lead to faster results, more fun times, better productivity. Understand these and the next stage, the Creation Stage, will be very easy for you. Ignore this and you will take a lot longer…trust me, I’ve been there.
