Sometimes the best app is another person. Strategic delegation multiplies your decision capacity.
The Delegation Framework
Level 1: Information Gathering Delegate research, not decisions: - "Find three restaurant options for client dinner" - "Compare top 5 project management tools" - "Summarize these three proposals"
You decide, they prepare.
Level 2: Recommendation Delegate analysis and suggestion: - "Recommend best restaurant with reasoning" - "Suggest which tool fits our needs" - "Propose response to this situation"
You approve or modify.
Level 3: Bounded Authority Delegate decisions within limits: - "Book any restaurant under $50/person" - "Choose tool under $100/month" - "Handle all requests under $500"
They decide within your parameters.
Level 4: Full Ownership Delegate entire domains: - "You own all travel arrangements" - "Manage entire social media presence" - "Handle all scheduling decisions"
You're informed, not involved.
