Dr. Vince Leone recommends making a "not-to-do" list of tasks that drain energy or can be delegated, then cutting them out. He eliminated several commitments two to three years ago and calls it one of the best decisions he ever made.
Create a not-to-do list of all these activities that don't bring you energy, that somebody else— that are not high value, that somebody else can do and pay them. Yeah. And then you focus on what you're good at and things that are of high value. And that makes a huge difference. I implemented this 2 or 3 years ago at your suggestion, cut some things out of my life, and it was some of the best decisions I ever made.
