In this segment, Dr. Vince Leone advises physicians and medical practice owners to conduct a time audit over a day or week, listing every activity performed in the practice. He guides them to calculate their effective hourly worth by dividing total revenue by hours worked, then assessing whether their actual value per hour is higher. He introduces a task classification system using low-value ($1) and high-value ($3) symbols, coupled with an energy assessment (whether a task energizes or drains). This framework quickly reveals which tasks are candidates for delegation. He then prompts the next step: identifying staff members who can assume those low-value, energy-draining tasks, thereby freeing the physician to focus on high-value, energizing work.

And I would give the doctors an exercise that they can do is, is do a time audit. You can do it for a day, you can do it for a week. I think that's— a week would be plenty of time. And I just want you to list everything that you do while in the practice, right? And then what you want to do is figure out, well, what is your time worth? And then maybe what do you want it to be worth? And, you know, you could take your total number of hours worked and you know, divide that by the amount of revenue that you make. But if, say you're making $100 an hour, you're worth $300 an hour or $500 an hour or whatever, somewhere in there, you know. And any task or activity that you can pay someone, say $20 an hour or $25 an hour, you're losing money. You're losing money and you are the bottleneck. So what you wanna do is make your list of activities that you do on a daily basis. And what I want you to do beside each one is, is it a $1 sign, a low-value task, or is it a $3 sign, a high-value task? And then also put, does it give you energy or does it take energy away? In other words, do you enjoy doing it or is it a slog? And that's going to very quickly show you which tasks you need to delegate, right? So that's the first step. And then the second step is, well, then who's going to take it on?
