10 Household Tasks You Can Outsource To Reclaim Your Time

6. Grocery shopping

You can either pay someone to run this errand for you or you can use one of the major supermarkets’ online delivery services and someone will select all your groceries and bring them to your home. It can be slightly more expensive than going and doing it yourself, but it can save hours of your time each week.

7. Handyman jobs

There’s no job too big or small for the handymen of the world. You might have a pile of odd jobs that nobody has gotten around to fixing in your house, or you’re just out of your depth trying to do them. Many people save up these jobs and get a handyman in for a day to do it for them.

8. Assembling flat pack furniture

I’d like to see statistics on how flat pack furniture assembly contributes to the divorce rate in Australia. I would be surprised if it hasn’t caused thousands of marriages to collapse. Trying to make sense of nonsensical instructions and putting it together can take hours of your time and put your relationship to the test. There are actually people out there who not only enjoy the challenge of flat pack furniture assembly, but they offer to do it for others”¦for a fee, of course.

9. Decluttering

Sometimes, it can feel like clutter is taking over your house and you can never really get on top of it. You can hire a professional organiser to come to your home and help tame the clutter beast and they will give you strategies to keep it away for good.

10. Personal concierge

If you need help with general stuff that has to happen in your life, a personal concierge can be for you. It’s pretty much like having a personal assistant for your personal life. They can do things like run errands, make appointments, arrange your family holidays and all those sorts of things that can take up a lot of time when you can’t be in two places at once.
