Hand over the task with the details it needs.
List the recurring work that takes your time, including the small tasks that interrupt other work. For each one, decide whether it still needs to happen and who is best placed to handle it.
A useful handoff explains the expected result, the deadline, the available tools, and the decisions the person can make. Give them a way to ask questions and a clear standard for checking the finished work.
