We are getting in our own way. Everyone does it. We think that we can do everything or we believe that if we ask for help or seem like we aren’t the best at everything we will in some way look dumb. The reality is that when we have the self awareness moment that we don’t need to take on absolutely everything we can set our minds at ease and invest more into the things that are important to us. The more time we spend on mundane tasks or ones that are outside of our core competency that we really aren’t that interested we are giving up time that could be spent somewhere else. We are constantly getting in our own way.
The reason we get in our own way could be lots of things, one of them in particular could be our egos. It can feel like at all times we need to control everything or do it ourselves if we want it done right, but oftentimes it’s the exact opposite. By letting other people in and being able to ask for help we can alleviate a lot of the stress that is already weighing on our shoulders. Other individuals have different and better skill sets than our own sometimes and in order to thrive we have to let them execute on those activities.
Think about the time in your day that is spent doing things that are mundane or don’t necessarily apply to you that are slowing you down. Optimize your schedule by allowing others to help where it applies and focusing on what you do best. If you find it hard to understand what you do best, then look at where you spend your time and where you enjoy it most. This is where you can spend more time doing something you are good at that also brings you joy, and then delegating tasks and activities that will slow you and the other people around you down.
