How can you truly unplug from work while still being productive?

If you want something done right, you’ve got to do it yourself.
But here's reality.
If you want to grow your business, save your sanity, and not have a hair cut like mine, then you need to learn to delegate and deal with imperfection
This was hard for me to grasp.
I would preach it to each of my coaching clients and then fail to do it myself.
I'd fall for the ole, "well, it will only take a few minutes and it's just easier if I do it" line.
But that's rare.
John Maxwell said it much better than me:
“If you want to do a few small things right, do them yourself. If you want to do great things and make a big impact, learn to delegate.”
― John C. Maxwell

Whether you're a CEO or starting your career, these insights are universal.
Here's a little math equation to help you know when you should delegate a task.
If someone else can do the same task for 20% of what your hourly rate is, while doing it 80% as well, then you should do it 100% of the time.
