My good friend, Ben?Hess, Managing Director, over at ThirdPool Recruiting, recently wrote about the value of your time.
In a?recent H.B.R. article, author Priscilla Claman points out that every professional need to distinguish between high-value and low-value work.
?
Overwhelmed is the new normal. Therefore, it’s a matter of professional life or death to get rid of your low-value work – tasks that mean little or nothing to customers or colleagues.
?
The article goes on to make some insightful recommendations for eliminating low-value work in your workflow.
?
But the real value in this idea for you is this:
?
Asking:?How much low-value work are you doing?
?
Or:?How much $25/hour work are you doing? How much $100/hour work are you doing?
At JPAR. we have a quick worksheet called “calculating the value of your time.” If you are with JPAR you will find this inside the B.O.S.S.S. Hub, and if you are outside JPAR give us a shout out at [email protected], and we will send over a copy.?
There is always a trade-off between low-value work, the cost to delegate, automate, or eliminate, and the amount of commission you earn. Playing small does not help, be bold, and make the next step.?
Maybe that step is hiring your first assistant? We have a guide for that. If you are with JPAR you will find this guide inside the B.O.S.S.S. Hub, and if you are outside JPAR give us a shout out at [email protected], and we will send over a copy.

How are you going to maximize the amount of high-value work you’re doing each day?
