> Delegate [...] Paperwork
The funny thing in real life is that paperwork and "boring" tasks can rarely be delegated or will need a cost/benefit analysis that becomes in itself a task.
For instance taxes. Will you pay an accountant for your taxes ? Either you have enough money to not care, either it's a non obvious trade-off and you need to decide how much you'd be paying vs how much your own time costs and what opportunity you'd lose/gain from there (including not getting fine grained knowledge about how your taxes work)
Or for our field, PR/MR reviews. where do they fall, and will you spend time on them or pass the bucket ?
- naveen99 3y agoRight. If you are doing paperwork, it’s probably because you are doing someone else’s urgent but unimportant task that they delegated to you. And you have to do some paperwork to leave a paper trail so it’s easier to find where you messed up when the task doesn’t get done.
