How to choose your first tasks to hand off

You do not need to hand off everything at once. Start small and build from there.

Start by noticing the tasks that repeat each week. These are often the simplest to share, because the steps are familiar. You might also look for tasks that take you away from your best work. Choose two or three to begin with.

Write down how you like each task done. A short note or a quick video is enough. Your virtual assistant learns your way of working. Soon, the handoff feels natural.
