# Create an Atoms vs. Bits List

## Action

List physical tasks ([[concept-atoms-vs-bits|Atoms]]) and digital tasks ([[concept-atoms-vs-bits|Bits]]), then delegate the Bits to AI.

## How To

1. Draw a line down the middle of a piece of paper.
2. **Left side — "Atoms":** list the physical, uniquely human things you want to spend more time doing (playing with kids, exercising, strategic deep thinking, looking a client in the eye, etc.).
3. **Right side — "Bits":** list the digital, administrative tasks that drain your time (email triage, scheduling, data entry, drafting documents, summarizing meetings).
4. Make a plan to **delegate the Bits list to an AI agent** — see [[concept-ai-agent]].

## Outcome

Clarity on which daily tasks should be automated versus which require human presence.
