Did you know there’s a word called “delegate?” I don’t think I knew it existed for years. Apparently, I believed I was the only one who could do anything!
It really is okay to delegate. There are always people looking for ways to make extra money. Maybe a high school student can run errands for you in the afternoons. There might be a stay-at-home mom who would be glad to get your groceries at the same time she shops for hers. If your children are old enough, there are many things they can do around the house, and earn a little pocket money at the same time.
You may be saying,”I don’t have the money.” But think about what your time is worth, too. Getting some of the other stuff of life off your plate will free you up to be more creative, happier and a lot more likely to increase your own earning potential. Don’t be careless with your money, but don’t spend a dollar to save a dime.
Personal chefs can be quite reasonable. Those places where you pick up frozen meals are increasingly more popular. If you really can’t spare the cash, find another Mom you can trade off days with; you watch her kids and yours one afternoon, and she watches them all another. Look into online banking. Online shopping is a great time-saver. You shop at midnight in your pj’s. What could be better?
Think creatively, and delegate!
