TGIF(inally)… And the Blog Is Late Because I Didn’t Delegate

Running late to meetings lately? Could be a sign of delegation deficiency! Talk to AndWhich!

A comedic case study in doing too much… again.

Ever notice how the weeks you promise yourself you’ll stay ahead are the very weeks life starts lifing and before you know it, you're juggling big time, again! Yeah. That was my Friday.

I sat down at 6 am, as I usually do, to write my weekly post — you know, the polished, inspirational, “We’ve got this” content you amazing readers deserve — and instead I found myself doing the following:

• Replying to emails

• Starting a task list for the task list

• Looking for my charger

• Finding the charger on top of the fridge (don’t ask)

• Cleaning the fridge

• Wondering why I’m suddenly deep-cleaning like I’m on a productivity show I didn’t audition for

By 6 pm, the only thing I’d “written” was a grocery list and one aggressive sticky note that says DELEGATE, WOMAN.

Meanwhile, my unfinished blog stared at me like a disappointed kid in a candy store.

The Plot Twist?

I wasn’t late because I didn’t have things to say. I was late because I thought I had to say everything… and do everything… and fix everything… by myself.

When you don’t delegate, here’s what actually happens:

1. Time bends.

Suddenly 9 a.m. becomes 4 p.m., and you have no idea how you got there. NASA should really study small-business owners. We’re out here breaking every known law of physics.

2. Small tasks become emotional support animals.

You keep them around “just in case,” even though they don’t help you and they definitely don’t pay rent.

3. You end up late… to your own life.

Late to your content, your clients, your dinner, your sleep schedule, and definitely that self-care routine you swear you’re starting on Monday.

So Here We Are.

A Friday blog posted on a Sunday, that was supposed to be on time… but is instead an honest little reminder:

When you don’t delegate, "life" laughs — and your calendar cries.

But here’s the good news: You’re human. You’re juggling a lot. And it’s fixable.

This very blog?Finished only because I finally took my own advice:

Delegate the busy. Delegate the boring. Delegate the backlog. Keep the things that actually move you forward. Read more in my eBook: Delegate like a boss.

And if you don’t have "someone" to delegate to yet? Oh look…That’s literally what AndWhich exists for.
