Are you serious Mike? You want me to make a list of the things I love about my life and read it out loud in front of a mirror like a freaking lunatic?

Delegate problems, not tasks
The simplest and most relevant one is the GROW framework, created by Sir John Whitmore. Here’s how to use the GROW model when delegating problems:
- Goal: Establish the goal
- Reality: Examine the current reality
- Options: Explore the options
- Will: Establish the will
“What is my experience of this, and what would would I like this experience to be?”

Step B: What do I need to do to make this possible?
Step A: What do I need to think to believe this is possible?
