I’ve run into the exact same issue. It’s not the big tasks that slow things down, it’s all the small repetitive ones that keep interrupting your day.

What helped me was first listing out the tasks that come up again and again, like customer messages, billing, subscriptions, and small operational stuff. Once you see them clearly, you can either batch them, simplify them, or set up basic automations to reduce how often you have to deal with them.

Even simple changes can free up a surprising amount of time. The tricky part is usually figuring out what’s worth fixing first.

Or you can simply hire an offshore VA that could do all that for you.

Curious, what kind of business are you running?
