Scenario:  Cold sweats, waking up in the middle of the night with your mind racing about all the fires you have to put out and all the deadlines you need to meet.

Goal:Sleep better, enjoy life, work less

Primary Solution:

1. List all of your problems
2. Pick your top two
3. Put all the rest aside
4. Attack the top two with a vengeance
5. Resolve to Fix the Problem

Practical Solution/System:

1. Think the issue through thoroughly;
2. Consult with people you trust;
3. Give it to a trusted employee;
4. Teach them how to develop a system or protocol to solve the problem;
5. Expect to have involvement in the development of, tweaking and readjusting of the protocol;
6. Help them fix the protocol when it does not work at first;
7. Train your employee(s) to perform the protocol (you learn more when you have to teach);
8. Document the system or protocol;
9. Prepare NOT to think about it again;
10. Over time you will not even know how to do it, but your staff will always know the protocol/system/solution;
11. Solve your next big problem.

The Key = Work Only with Superstars.
