Either one of two problems: you don’t like <a href="https://workalpha.com/how-to-maximize-your-productivity-through-delegation/">delegating tasks</a>, or you’re having trouble prioritizing which tasks deserve your time. Figure out which tasks deserve your time the most (or those tasks that you do best), and outsource something that’s of low priority.

Doing Everything Yourself

This is a vision for what you actually want to accomplish. Visualize what you want to get done that day or that week for some of the larger tasks. Instead of “write white paper”, you could “outline the white paper” or “write three pages of the white paper.” Writing the entire thing in one sitting may feel productive, but it’s a very tiring way to be productive.

You Don’t Have a Vision

Those that do multitask the most are the worst at it. Productivity is defined as, “having the power to produce.” By that definition, multitasking is the opposite of productivity because you are more prone to distractions and have less power to produce what you need to produce.

Not Getting Enough Rest

There are a lot of people talking about what you ought to do to be more productive, or which fancy tools and apps you should use to get more things done. However, there aren't as many people talking about what you shouldn't do to try and be more productive, or which activities will make you less productive (email is the only thing getting attention here).
