The One Thing You Can Give Anyone
Summary
- Time is the one thing everyone values, regardless of their status.
- Most people spend time on tasks they don’t enjoy, making it a valuable commodity.
- Identify what higher-value targets spend their time on, particularly tasks they haven’t yet outsourced.
- Offer to take over those specific tasks for them, as they are likely to want their time back.
- Focus on handling higher-level skills to make your offer more appealing.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing strategies to save time for yourself and higher-value targets. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Identify Time-Consuming Tasks:
- Analyze your daily tasks and identify which ones you don't enjoy or which are time-consuming.
- For higher-value targets, look into the tasks they haven’t outsourced yet.
2. Offer Help with Higher-Level Skills:
- Instead of focusing on lower-level tasks, offer to manage higher-level skills that are more valuable and harder to outsource. For example, if they spend hours on content creation, offer to handle that for them.
3. Trade Services:
- If you're an entrepreneur, offer to swap services with someone who has skills you need. This way, both parties can save time on tasks they'd rather not do.
4. Batch Similar Tasks:
- Combine similar tasks to improve efficiency. This can save a lot of time which you can use elsewhere.
5. Automate Repetitive Work:
- Use free or low-cost tools to automate repetitive tasks. This could be anything from social media posts to email responses.
6. Learn and Implement Productivity Hacks:
- Adopt productivity hacks like the Pomodoro Technique to manage your time better and make the most out of your working hours.
7. Hire Virtual Assistants:
- Consider hiring virtual assistants for a few hours a week to handle smaller tasks. This is a low-cost way to get back more of your time.
Each of these steps can be put into practice with minimal time and financial investment but can offer significant returns in terms of productivity and time saved.
