Too Much, Too Little?



"Often he who does too much does too little."


Italian proverb


I would modify this to read, ". . . he who attempts to do too much does too little", but the thought is the same regardless.

Multi-tasking is fine as long as most if not all the "multi-tasks" get done, but that isn't what always happens.  And excessive delegation does not insure accomplishment.


Multi-tasker or delegator, which are you?

  2. Maybe this is an age thing. I've come to believe that the older I get, the less I realize I know and/or want to do myself, either or both of which makes me more a delegator.

  3. Is that a good, bad or neutral thing Lionel?
