Have you been in the situation where you notice that your computer is a lot slower than it used to be? It takes longer to boot up, takes longer to carry out simple tasks, and takes longer to switch between programs. Something in the background seems to be chewing up all the computer’s capacity to process the information you’re feeding it.

It’s frustrating, because suddenly you can’t rely on your computer as much as you used to. It just doesn’t seem to be working as well.

There’s a simple solution: increase your PC’s random access memory, or RAM.

It’s a quick job, and you’ll be amazed at how much more efficiently your computer will be able to work.

The same step can be applied to you. You can increase what I call your ‘psychic RAM’.

Sometimes when we’re doing too much at work, one of the challenges we’re faced with is psychic RAM. I don’t mean psychic as in a medium or clairvoyant, but your mental space. When you’re doing too many tasks, too many parts of your brain are tied up.

See if this scenario sounds familiar: You need to edit the weekly newsletter. The chances are that throughout the day, before you actually get around to editing the newsletter, it pops into your mind five or six times. When you’re in a sales meeting, on the phone to clients, or working on a new project, your mind jumps to the newsletter. While you should be focusing on other parts of the business, your brain decides to focus on something else.

It’s a type of psychic disturbance that has the power to disrupt your train of thought, putting you off more important work. When you’re overloading yourself with too many tasks, you put amazing amounts of pressure on your mind to keep functioning at its usual top speed. It’s so easy to lose focus when you have too much to focus on.

Doing too many tasks yourself affects your energy. It’s having a direct effect and impact on your business because it’s draining your energy. It’s pulling you away from your unique ability – the things you love to do, the things you do best, the places where you add most value.

But if you start to delegate aspects of your business, and when you know that someone else is taking care of them, you start to free up mental space. This makes more of your brain available for creative thinking, for coming up with new ideas, for solving other problems.

Even if you decide to delegate just some of these tasks, it will free up your psychic RAM and increase your productivity. It’s quite amazing how it just happens. Every time I delegate or outsource an aspect of my work, I’m amazed at the leap in my productivity and new ideas. I suddenly have so much more mental capacity to focus on the core areas of my business.

Increasing your psychic RAM will give you so much more energy, and will allow you to focus more on what you do best.

Isn’t it time that your mind had an upgrade?
