Which hours in your week should not be yours?
Most business owners know they are busy. Very few know exactly where the hours go. This free audit turns one ordinary week into a clear list of what to keep, what to hand off and what to stop doing.
- One ordinary week, written down, shows where your hours really go. Estimates are fine.
- Three questions sort every task into keep, hand off or drop. Drop is a real answer.
- You finish with two numbers: the hours a month you could get back, and what those hours are worth.

Quick answers
What should a business owner delegate first?
Start with recurring tasks that follow clear steps, such as inbox sorting, calendar booking, data entry and follow-up reminders. Keep the work that needs your judgement, your expertise or your personal relationships.
How do I know which tasks to delegate?
Ask three questions about each task: would anything important break if nobody did it, does it need your expertise or relationships, and could someone follow written steps to do it well. The answers sort each task into drop, keep or hand off.
What is a delegation audit?
A delegation audit is a simple exercise where you log one ordinary week of tasks, score each one, and work out how many hours you could hand off and what those hours are worth.
Can a virtual assistant take tasks off my plate?
Yes. Business owners most often hand a virtual assistant their inbox, calendar, CRM and lead follow-up, admin and content scheduling in the first month.
Is delegating worth the cost?
Compare the monthly value of the hours you hand off with the cost of covering them. If delegation does not pay yet, start smaller with the two or three tasks that take the most time.
