Read the articleAbout delegation and productivity
Delegation is a skill with arithmetic behind it. Most founders know they should hand work off, but few can say how many hours they would actually get back, what those hours are worth, or which tasks are safe to start with. These guides turn those questions into numbers and filters you can test on your own week.
Start with how much time a VA can save you, which shows net hours reclaimed by role, the value of a founder hour and the break-even rule. Then use the founder's guide to delegation to score tasks and decide what to offload first.
