Extreme Task Delegation: Because Adulting is Hard

Step 1: Identify Your Weaknesses

Be honest with yourself, do you:

• Procrastinate for hours on end?
• Have trouble saying 'no' to social invitations?
• Crave the taste of last night's pizza for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

If you answered 'yes' to all or any of these, it's time to delegate!

Step 2: Find Your Delegate

Choose someone you know who:

• Will do the work for you without questioning your sanity?
• Has a strong stomach for your drama and excuses?
• Is secretly a closet procrastinator themselves?

Example: your spouse, your roommate, or that one friend who's always 'helping' you with your Netflix password.

Step 3: Assign the Task

Explain the task in excruciating detail, using diagrams and flowcharts if necessary. Then, hand over the reins and:

• Make a dramatic exit.
• Leave a trail of breadcrumbs leading to your delegate's desk.
• Set a reminder for when to pick up a 'working lunch' from the deli.

And that's it! Now you can focus on more important things... like your Netflix queue, or that one video game you've been 'studying' for weeks.
