Things you can't outsource

Posted on

There’s a lot of great ways you can buy your time back with services and outsourcing. But there’s things you really cannot replace. These are the things you outsource for, to get more time to do yourself.

Remember those 80’s and 90’s movies with dad always disappointing his kids by showing up just at the end of the competition that their kid had won? Mom not being fully present to actually get what her child was saying? (It was the 80’s/90’s and those families were strictly heteronormative, and they all had the same problems.) You’d watch an entire multi-hour sappy block to see an adult rediscover what they cared about.

Here’s some things you can’t effectively outsource:

  • growing relationships
  • making memories to cherish as you age
  • your own enjoyment and recreation

This is a little fuzzy and touchy-feely, but worth highlighting: you’re building your income and optimizing your time so that you can have a good life. Don’t miss out on it in the process.

Did that make your day a little better?
