This is a very simple formula to help you prevent work overload.
Apply the 4 D's : Decide - and take action.
Do It Now - take immediate action, do the task right away.
Dump It Now - make a quick decision and dump the task.
Delegate It - give the task to someone else.
This is a very critical aspect of time management. Your time is valuable; make it a habit to work on tasks that you do best and delegate the tasks that can be performed by
someone else.
Defer the Task - make an immediate decision to postpone the task to a later time.
