Seven Tasks You Don’t Have To Do Yourself

Ideally, the majority of our workday should revolve around utilizing our brightest talents and skills. Using our time in a less-than-optimal way can be costly over time, not just personally, but financially for the business we are working in too.

Though this goal of moving work to others may seem to some people like it is a little too lofty, in actuality, you have more opportunities to outsource those office duties that you find tedious and time-consuming than you may have thought. You can do also do so at a cheaper price than you thought possible. A simple shift can dramatically increase productivity at your business.

There are three general criteria you should use when determining whether or not you should outsource a task or duty:

  1. First, are you procrastinating on starting or completing a task?  If so, you might actually lack the skills, resources, and/or knowledge to finish the work.
  2. Do you dread the task?  If so, you obviously would rather not do it.  Also, you are not as likely to do the task to the best of your ability.
  3. Are you great at the task?  If not, chances are you should look for an expert that specializes in this work.  If this is a task you show the talent and ability to complete, outsource what you do poorly so you have more time to work on what you have the skills to do.
