Six Ways to Work Less

If you’re working more hours a week than you want for the money you make,
here are six variables you can play with to begin solving the problem:

Disengage – create space to think clearly and capitalize on bigger opportunities

Delegate – proactively send your work down the line

Optimize – cut friction, confusion, duplication, or unnecessary steps from a workflow

Automate – find the steps technology can do without you

Don’t do it at all – just because it’s been done that way for forever doesn’t mean it still needs doing

Make yourself less necessary – Reduce the number of habitual but not-entirely-necessary offers to “be helpful;” avoid designing packages where you are a required aspect of the service

…

It bears repeating:

  • Time is not revenue.

  • Work is not revenue.

  • Clients are not revenue.

Revenue comes from value creation, captured through prices.

If you have a revenue problem, that’s a different problem.

If you have a time problem, consider the above.
