How many of us actually ask for help?
Here's a reminder that you don't need to do it all yourself. If you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed and out of time, then try this - stop and reflect on how you are using your time.
Ask yourself:
- What tasks you are doing that you could be delegating?
- What tasks could you outsource?
- What tasks make sense to be done by someone else?
Who out there is willing to help and just needing you to take the first step....and ask?
You may not be able to delegate all of a task, but you could delegate part of it. Every task that you share will free up a bit of time for you.
Time is becoming even more of a stretched resource, if asking for help will help you to maximise the value you gain from your time, then it is worth looking for opportunities to reach out and have the courage to ask for help.
