Explicitly write a list of 3-5 tasks you never delegate, and delegate everything else without hesitation.

Identify 5-7 tasks that must stay with you, so you delegate everything else with peace.

Start from goal end-date, draw steps backwards to today.

Instead of "you always...", say "I feel ... when X happens".

Before starting each morning, write three tasks that, alone, would make the day a success.

Log every task you do for a full week, then tag: delegable / non-delegable.

Specify the decision-types (not tasks) you will delegate via an explicit authority ring.

For one month, measure: how many hours go to "following-up" delegated tasks? Target < 20%.

Every time you catch yourself doing a task, ask: who else? And why didn't they?

Turn a vague goal into a specific, measurable, time-bound formulation.

Per recurring meeting: "does it produce decision/action?" — if no, kill it.

Don't report what went as expected. Report only what breached the allowed threshold — silence is reassurance.

Instead of a "start-doing" list, build a "stop-doing" list: what activities to cease to free energy for the most important?

Replace "you always forget" with "I feel worried when..." — Thomas Gordon's classic formula.
