I was listening to Brian Tracy the other day and he said something that has stuck in my head. He said that 3 activities in the day, week, month or year creates 90% of my results. This statement has been bugging me because I think it is true. I spend 50% of my time each day doing things that are important, but should be delegated. Delegating is hard because I have to invest a lot in training. I need to make it happen. I also need to look for parts of tasks that I can delegate now without a lot of training. (I just thought of that and an example that I could do).
The other part of this question and the hard part is to identify the three activities that pay the most. Sometimes (especially lately) I am working on projects that I may or may not see a return from for a year or more. It's like the old 80-20 rule. 20% of your activites create 80% of your results. It's hard sometimes to decide what 20% I should be working on. I will have to continue to think on this one.
