Organizing Your Life

We all need to start thinking about subcontracting chores and jobs out for (i) things that we just aren’t good at, (ii)  things that are outside our scope of expertise, (iii)  things that we hate doing or (iv)  that we physically or mentally cannot do. On my recent appearance on Rogers Daytime television, one of the co-hosts, Jeff Moore, said just that. If you really don’t want to  tackle something on your own, then why do it?!  So often I hear my clients say to me “I really should be able to get this space organized on my own”. Really?  Why? Do you really have the time? The skills or the energy? At my own home I find there are a number of “chores” and other things that we need to outsource so that we can spend time on things that are important to us as well as to reduce the physical toll.  What would it take to get you to outsource some of the responsibilities that keep your home or office running smoothly? Cut yourself some slack and give yourself permission to hire someone to help reduce your stress, gain control of your life and make room for living? I have, and it’s feels pretty good!
