COOL THINGS / INTERACTIVE / DELEGATION
Energy-Value Delegation Grid.
What’s filling your week, and how much of it needs to stay with you? Add your regular tasks, see how they affect your energy, and explore what you could keep, share, or hand over. Move things around until the grid feels right, then save it as an image or a PDF.
Open the gridHow it works
Start with what’s on your plate
List the work that keeps coming back
Start with six to twelve tasks from a typical week or month. Or load a sample to try it out.
Answer two quick questions
How much does this task need you? And how do you usually feel after doing it?
See where it lands
Each corner gives you a starting point. Pick a task to look at more closely, then save your grid as an image or PDF.
The two questions
Does it need you? Does it drain you?
Across the grid
How much it needs me
Think about your knowledge, relationships, or authority. Could someone else take it on with a good handover?
- Ready to hand off
- Needs a handover
- Better with me
- Needs me for now
Up the grid
Energy it costs me
Think about how you usually feel afterward. A ten-minute task can wear you out. An hour of work you enjoy can leave you feeling good.
- Gives energy
- Neutral
- Tiring
- Draining
The four corners
See what could change
Good to hand off
Who could take this on?
Lighten the load
Keep your part. Get help with the rest.
Share when ready
Hand it over when there is a good reason.
Keep and protect
Make room for this before the week fills.
A closer look
Does every part of this need you?
If most of your tasks land on the “needs me” side, pick one and take another look. You might need to make the decision while someone else handles the preparation or follow-up.
Handing it over
Five things the other person needs
- Agree who has room to take it on.
- Explain what a good result looks like.
- Share the context, instructions, and access.
- Agree when they should check with you.
- Set a time to see how it is going.
Start with one task. You can come back to the rest. Your grid is saved in this browser only, is not sent to us, and stays until you clear it.
