5 Admin Tasks You Shouldn’t Be Doing (And What to Delegate Instead)

As a visionary leader, every minute you spend doing tasks someone else could handle is a minute you're not leading, creating, or growing. If you're juggling everything alone, you're not only risking burnout—but also stalling your next level of impact.

Here are 5 tasks you can confidently release—and what to do instead:

1. Email Management

Stop: Spending hours sorting, replying, or flagging follow-ups.
Delegate: A skilled admin can manage your inbox, respond on your behalf, and keep your priorities front and center.

2. Calendar Scheduling

Stop: The back-and-forth game of finding a time to meet.
Delegate: Let someone streamline your calendar, send confirmations, and ensure you’re never double-booked again.

3. Document Creation & Formatting

Stop: Making Canva flyers, formatting reports, or creating presentation decks.
Delegate: Provide the vision—your admin will bring it to life with branded polish and clarity.

4. Social Media Posting

Stop: Uploading captions, resizing graphics, or remembering to post every day.
Delegate: Share the strategy and let your admin handle the posting, repurposing, and scheduling.

5. Travel & Meeting Prep

Stop: Booking flights, hotels, or tracking Zoom links across platforms.
Delegate: A strong assistant will prepare your itineraries, provide digital folders, and make sure you're 3 steps ahead.
