Our time is precious and it is valuable. If you have more money than time or simply dislike doing certain tasks, it makes more sense than ever to outsource select domestic duties. There are several ways to outsource:
- Use timesaving online services (i.e. ftd.com, opentable.com, travelocity.com, paperlesspost.com, etc.)
- Hire a personal assistant who knows your specific needs OR
- Hire a local professional to tackle these type of services:
- House cleaning/window washing
- Yard work
- Cooking and grocery shopping
- Travel planning
- Handyman work
- Auto Repair
- Pet Care
- Decorating/remodeling
- Gift Shopping
- Wardrobe shopping/alterations
- Party planning
- Accounting/bookkeeping
- Photo or memory books creation
- Tree lighting
- Errands
- Child transportation
We have a wealth of expertise here in Park City and I have crossed paths with professionals who do virtually all of the tasks mentioned above. (Of course, Spruce does do a few of these as well.) If you would like names for anyone from a dog walker to a professional art hanger, drop me a line. I will be happy to give you a referral!
By outsourcing you can save yourself time, money and stress. The modest amount you pay someone to handle these tasks could ultimately mean more money from additional hours worked OR improved sanity and lower blood pressure from spending more time doing the things you love.
