Keep a 'Waiting For' List to Track Delegated Tasks

You delegated the task. Great. But did you write it down? Without a tracking system, delegated tasks have a way of vanishing into a void — until they come back as urgent problems weeks later.

Keep a simple "Waiting For" list: who you're waiting on, what they owe you, and when you expect it. Check it weekly. This isn't micromanaging — it's responsible follow-through. The best delegators don't just hand things off; they close the loop.
