Now that Thanksgiving is upon us and the Holidays are not only nipping at our rhinestone studded heels but also have a shortened amount of shopping days - this article in Entrepreneur has great tips that will help us all to stop wasting our $1000 an hour expertise on $10 an hour jobs that are better outsourced.
Read the full (quick) article here or try these takeaways:
* Hire a housekeeper. Not only do you give someone a job - but it frees you up to do what you are better at.
* Hire a personal assistant. READ: Pay your kids, your neighbor's kids, your retired Mom etc. to do some errands for you. Groceries, laundry, getting office supplies, post-office pick-ups et al.
* Don't feel guilty relaxing. Ok - this one is hard. Really? Relax?! Yeah right. But many studies say that a short nap will awaken your senses - ultimately making you more productive for the rest of your day.
* Focus on your most productive time slot. Are you a morning go-getter or a night-owl wizard? Outsource your less pressing matters (like pressing) and be a mental powerhouse in YOUR prime-time work zone.
