How many of us have wished at times that we could clone ourselves? Delegating to a personal assistant is a simple way to reclaim hours of your time and free you up to do what you are best at doing. Think this is not for you? Think again and read on! We’re going to cover how to afford it, how to find one, how to pay them, and ideas for what they can do.
Just imagine paying someone $28 a week to do things like:
- Groceries and other household purchasing
- Car washes, oil changes and other car maintenance
- Watch and jewelry repairs
- Dry cleaning and alterations pickups
- Shopping returns and exchanges
- Prescription pickups
- Video store and library returns
- Bank deposits
- Pet-sitting, pet care, taking animals to the vet
- House-sitting while you travel
- Business card entry, spreadsheet maintenance, or other simple data entry
- Calling for reservations or making other arrangements on your behalf
- Scanning, filing, shredding
- Transporting items to and from home, office, or school
- Transporting children
- Dishes, laundry, straightening up the house
$28 a week to reclaim two hours of your time. Not a bad trade off. I think this could also be great for churches with very limited budgets and staff.
