Task Values For Prioritizing or Delegating

This image is a productivity smackdown for busy marketers. It visually slices your day into $10, $100, $1,000, and $10,000 per hour tasks to show what actually moves the needle.

Why this hits hard

It’s color-coded, dead simple, and punches lazy prioritization in the face. The message: you’re probably spending time on $10/hr work when you should be closing $10,000/hr deals.

Why it works

• Turns abstract prioritization into a visual framework
• Uses scarcity: every hour counts, so where’s the best ROI?
• Makes “delegation” a measurable decision, not a guilt trip
• Encourages leverage thinking—systems, not sweat

Examples

• Jeff Bezos focuses on “one-way door” decisions, not inbox zero
• Gary Vaynerchuk delegates all admin tasks to chase big partnerships
• Elon Musk prioritizes design and product vision over status meetings
• Small agencies use virtual assistants to free time for $1,000/hr client strategy sessions
