Step four: Yes, but not anyone

- We are halfway through the time value…prioritization funnel.…If you've done things properly up to this point,…you should have filtered out…at least half of all the tasks from your initial list.…Now we're only dealing with tasks of higher value.…That means we're ready for the fourth step,…which is yes, but not anyone.…Sound strange?…Simply put, we're saying yes,…we need to complete this thing,…and yes, it has value,…but no human being should do this.…

We want to automate the process…of completing this task.…Yes, but not anyone tasks…have a great deal of value…because, when handled properly,…they free up significant amounts of time…in the future,…time that you can reuse to focus on your MVAs.…How do we get humans out of the picture?…Well, usually it's going to come down…to either software or hardware.…We're going to explore…if we can get an app or find a machine…to take care of the task.…

So before delegating this to someone else…or doing it yourself,…simply ask the question:…Can I automate this task?…Even if you can't completely remove…
