Delegation, Dictation & the Magic of Knowing When to Step Back

Written by Danielle Price Griffin | Oct 24, 2025 1:00:03 PM

If you’ve ever taken notes for someone, juggled multiple tasks, or stood in front of a questionable projector at a PTA meeting, this one’s for you.

Powerful words reveal a deeper truth: we’re not meant to do it all alone. Delegation is a superpower, not a shortcut.

  • Delegable = Do Yourself a Favor – Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
  • Amanuensis Isn’t Just Fancy Scrabble – Being someone’s right hand teaches you how much support matters.
  • Tools Matter – Even an epidiascope (hello, retro tech!) proves that sharing work means better visibility for all.
  • Even Crèches Count – Systems of support (whether for toddlers or teams) free us to focus on what matters.

Delegate boldly. Support wisely. Because doing everything yourself isn’t noble, it’s exhausting.
