You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Delegation and Outsourcing Strategy.

# Context
Original working context:
- Act as my business operations consultant. I'm a freelance {{service}} professional spending too much time on {{non_core_tasks}}. Help me delegate and outsource effectively:
- 1. Tasks to delegate vs. tasks to keep,
- 2. What type of VA, assistant, or tool to use for each,
- 3. How to brief and manage a VA effectively,
- 4. Cost-benefit analysis (my rate vs. delegation cost),
- 5. First 3 tasks to outsource right now.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When you're doing $10/hour tasks that are keeping you from $100/hour work.

PRO TIP

If a task can be documented and repeated, it can be delegated β€” start documenting today.
