📌 *I've built a free course* that gives you both the SOP template I use in this video AND a primer on how to use SOPs to actually delegate. It's called Task Plunger, and here's how you can get it for free:
2. Within 5 minutes, you'll *receive an email with the subject line confirm your email.* In that email, click the big ol' "Start Course" button to confirm your email and get started. (Check your Spam if you don't see it because if you do not give your consent in that email we cannot email you anything, including the template! )
3. You'll immediately receive the Google Doc template I use in this video. Afterward, you'll get added to the * free 5-day course* that shows you how to use that SOP template to delegate tasks because, otherwise, what's the point of the template?

Yo Layla, I'm a Water Treatment plant operator and the SOP's I've created are the worst. Primarily because I don't know how to write them but most importantly some of our instrument calibration processes have dozens of steps. When you mentioned focusing on mini goals my mind exploded. You made me rethink the way I can explain highly complicated processes. Having the mindset now to envision mini goals that apply to multiple processes. Nice work, and Thank you.

As a programmer, I can tell you this is the very basics of programming any algorithm neatly explained.

Layla, you are incredibly helpful. You have a knack for finding the exact thing that causes confusion/stress and explaining the solution in simple terms. Thank you!

I love that your suggestions are based on your actual experience and not just, “I think this sounds good.” Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic tip about feeding the transcript into an LLM with SOP formatting. I hadn’t even thought about that use case. Subbed!

Talk and collaborate with the people you want to use the SOP. Don't automatically think your understanding is what actually happens in the real world. There's always a reason its not followed or a better and more efficient way of doing things. Most SOP’s are made by office people that never go near the task in the first place
