Your true hourly income (something like days worked * average hours - costs of your job) and then automate/outsource anything worth less than that so you can focus on increasing your income/salary.
Hypothetical -- 240 days / year , 10hr days ("gotta hustle!") , + 2 hours of commuting, +30 mins of preparation you wouldnt do if it werent for your job ==> 3k hours per year.
say you make 90k per year => $30 an hour.
* Automate healthy meals for $15 per saved hour? Do it.
* Automate maid services for $25 per saved hour? Do it.
* Fix your care in 8 hours when the shop quotes you 3*125 an hour? => Do it.
* Clip coupons for an hour to save $12? Skip it.

- supernova87a 7y agoSorry, I disagree with many of these, especially if you make the mistake of thinking that the amount you get paid at work applies to your free time. Or at least, these kinds of decisions to outsource a task aren't so clear cut as the above makes it seem. Also, some (I caveat, some) people who start to think their personal time is "billable" turn into insufferable jerks. Most people cannot turn a random free hour into extra salary. And if you outsource all the things above, you may end up having learned nothing about how to live or relate and understand normal life. You're not going to become a billionaire by doing this. Learn to do the things that you should do yourself, and judiciously outsource those that legit save you time and unnecessary mental exhaustion.
