First: Take care of yourself! I had a burnout. To me that means find a coach, take a break, sleep enough (works wonders!), exercice. And yes besides those crucially important topics, delegation is also vedy important. Delegating tasks that other people could do 80% as well, delegating tasks that are not highly critical for your goals etc. Besides that: prioritise! Only focus on the high importance work and point out to your colleagues that you are currently at your limit, so you won‘t be able to do X,Y,Z. Lastly: learn to say No! Don‘t take on new things if they aren‘t super important.

Break the cycle. It is common for entrepreneurs not to relinquish control, especially in the beginning. Burnout needs to become more overwhelming that the tasks you are struggling to delegate. Once this becomes your view, the delegation will become easier as you realise that you will be able to contribute a fraction of what you could if you are burn out. Start with smaller tasks and build on the habit of delegation.

Delegar efectivamente comienza con identificar tareas que no requieren tu intervención directa y asignarlas a personas con las habilidades adecuadas. Comunica objetivos claros, confía en tu equipo y ofrece soporte cuando sea necesario, pero sin microgestionar. Además, establece prioridades y automatiza procesos rutinarios siempre que sea posible. Aprender a soltar el control es clave para mantener tu energía y enfocarte en las áreas donde tu aporte es más valioso.
