- There are things you currently think are really important to keep doing, but in reality they probably aren’t that important to the overall success or mission of your organization.
- Delegation is about realizing you cannot achieve a goal on your own and owning your limitations. It is also about developing people over the long haul
- If you find that you continue to postpone something on your “To Do” list for weeks, consider the fact that it might be something you don’t need to do.
- Another word for de-clutter is “simplify.”
- Look for activities in your organization where you can give people permission to stop doing them.
- Take advantage of “Snow Days” to take stock of where you can simplify.
