For the longest time, calendar management was that task for me. It felt like a constant puzzle rescheduling meetings, dealing with time zones, trying not to double book myself. Once I handed that off to a VA, it was a huge relief and honestly, I thought that was enough. I figured I could manage the rest.

But I kept holding onto my inbox. Emails, follow-ups, unread threads piling up it was quietly draining, but I didn’t even realize how much until my VA, who I brought on through delegate co, asked if I wanted to offload that too. I said yes, and it was like flipping a switch. Suddenly, I wasn’t starting every day with inbox dread.

I’ve been way more present and productive since. Looking back, I don’t know why I didn’t offload it sooner. I think I had this idea that staying on top of emails kept me closer to partners and the pulse of the business but really, it was just holding me back.

Curious what’s one task you’ve kept doing out of habit or a need for control, even though deep down you know it’s time to let it go? Trying to see if there’s anything else I can offload!
