I wonder what the role of "errands" plays in the development of a person. These types of responsibilities must be beneficial to our every day existence, right? And if you can outsource all these alleged time wasters, what would you replace that time with? The final paragraph of the piece tells the real story, IMO.
> Because, if I’m being honest, the real reason I never attend to all of these matters isn’t because I’m too busy. It’s because on Saturdays, when my dry cleaner is open, I’d rather sleep late and go to brunch.

- ghaff 11y agoIt's absolutely fair that it's worth it for some people to pay to free up a few hours per week. However, it's equally true that it's not necessarily worth it for others, especially if the outsourcing becomes as much a headache as doing it yourself.
