The power of having a second self.

• Harnessing the power of delegation: why delegate, how to delegate, who to delegate to.
• The beauty of having a dedicated, PA: relationships matter, someone to know your preferences/needs
• How highly-specialized services (like TaskRabbit, Exec) are making it seamless to go completely “virtual”
• 80/20 principle and how it relates to delegation: how to find the 20% of your time that contributes to 80% of your productivity, maximizing that 20% by delegating the rest.

• Best practices: tools, tricks and tips on how to best use your own personal assistant
