You need a co-administrator or two to help with the workload. My job with TFG (Taylor Family Genes) is largely participant & external relations (& queries) along with general problem recognition, identification & solving. I have four excellent co-admins who handle much of the work: 1. The matching tasks are handled by a co-admin for whom it's her sole duty. 2. Another co-admin publishes the project's blog (newsletter) 3. Another looks at matters from a business perspective and advises me. He's also excellent at spotting errors. 4. A fourth is the retired admin who's stayed on as an advisor, especially on how we got here. 5. Before becoming admin, I handled the project's external (from FTDNA) website, a task I've retained. Spreading the work around allows an admin to do more than merely put out brushfires. It creates the space to look ahead and be proactive. Fortunately, delegation is a skill I've had some practice at. -ralpht_/)
