Automation and delegation
- Look at each individual step of your refined process and ask if a machine could do this. But be careful not to skip straight to the automation step without defining and refining the system first. Skipping to automation might create unnecessary complexity.
- Once you have defined, refined, and automated the system to the greatest extent, you can delegate it. Invest in someone who can take the system you started, implement it as you designed it, then continue to improve and refine it. If someone was doing this work instead of you so you could focus on other things, would you eventually be able to afford them? Taking a step back financially often gives you the ability to take two steps forward. If someone else could do the work at least 80% as well as you, delegate it.

Define exactly what goes into your daily process
It's easy to fall into the habit of doing something repeatedly without clarifying what the steps are. Explaining how to do things ensures tasks are done properly, and that no one has to spend time constantly re-teaching how to do something. Once the system is defined, it's possible to sta...

Rushing to conclusions
It’s sometimes necessary to make decisions quickly. But if you’re frequently skipping steps, you could be misdiagnosing problems and making decisions that don’t solve anything.
Take the time to step back and collect the facts. Make decisions that address the root cause.
Define your why — and why now
Take the time to ask yourself why you want a new job. If you try to explore the goal you have in mind, it will motivate you to find space for job hunting.
Defining your "why now?" will call you to action to take the first step.
Lack of effective systems
When we're burned out, we tend to keep doing something ourselves that we could delegate or outsource, because we don’t have the necessary energy we need to establish a system for recurring problems.
Remedies for recurring problems are often simple if you can step back enough to get perspect...

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
