"By the time I explain how it needs to be done, I could have just done it"
This is why I so frequently get overwhelmed at work. I would always rather do things that talk about doing things, so I just do the things, and end up owning everything
That's a big part of it for me, too. The other part is that I document things pretty thoroughly, but no one wants to read that. I'd much rather they read the docs I wrote and ask specific questions than expect me to just explain everything from scratch.
I try to write good documentation, but when introducing someone for the first time I try to talk them through the documentation. Turns out my documentation could always use some improvements and it helps them feel comfortable with the documentation so they can reference back to it more easily.
