Match delegated tasks to the ability level of the assistant. 3. Keep a delegation log to track tasks assigned to assistants. 4. Specify target dates for delegated tasks to ensure completion. 5. Break large tasks into smaller chunks to make them more manageable for assistants.

something or not

5. 4. Specify a Target Date (10 mins)
If your assistant is not asking when you need it, get a
new assistant.
Goals without target dates don’t get done.
Plus it helps your assistant prioritize what’s most
important.

mins)
A good assistant will only need you to outline a few
milestones or interim deadlines
Then keep in touch regularly with scheduled progress
reports
