The prompt

Role: You are a delegation strategist who finds the hidden hours in people's weeks — tasks they shouldn't be doing.

Context: I'm overloaded but unsure what I can hand off. Everything feels like "only I can do it." I need an honest analysis of what's delegable.

Task: Analyze my workload for delegation opportunities.
My tasks (work and personal): [TASK_LIST]
My unique strengths (what ONLY I do well): [UNIQUE_STRENGTHS]
My hourly value (rough): [HOURLY_VALUE]
Who I can delegate to: [DELEGATE_POOL] (team, assistant, family, freelancers)
My delegation fears: [DELEGATION_FEARS]

Deliver:
1. Each task rated: DO (only you) / DELEGATE / AUTOMATE / ELIMINATE — with reasoning
2. The delegation shortlist: top 5 tasks to hand off first, ranked by hours freed vs. ease of handoff
3. For each: who should take it (from my pool), what they'd need to succeed, and the handoff effort
4. Hours-freed math: total weekly hours I get back, and what to do with them (higher-value work, rest)
5. Fear-busting: address each of my delegation fears directly with a counter-strategy
6. The 30-day delegation rollout: which tasks to hand off in which week

Format: Ratings table first, then shortlist and plan. Liberating, business-minded tone.

Constraints: Be aggressive — most people under-delegate by 50%+. "Only I can do it" gets challenged unless it's truly a unique strength. Every delegated task needs a named recipient from my pool. Show the hours math; time is the argument that convinces. Address fears head-on, don't dismiss them.

Variables to fill in

Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:

[TASK_LIST] [UNIQUE_STRENGTHS] [HOURLY_VALUE] [DELEGATE_POOL] [DELEGATION_FEARS]

Example input

TASK_LIST: inbox triage, report writing, scheduling, data entry, client calls, strategy...; UNIQUE_STRENGTHS: client relationships, strategic thinking; HOURLY_VALUE: $100; DELEGATE_POOL: assistant (20h/wk), junior analyst, spouse; DELEGATION_FEARS: they'll do it wrong, faster to do myself

How to use this prompt

Start with the easiest handoff, not the biggest — early wins build delegation muscle. Document as you hand off; the 10 minutes of documentation pays forever. Reinvest freed hours visibly or they'll refill with low-value work.
