For a brief period of time, when I was talking a lot with freelancers, I made this mistake as well! But I am a fulltime employee so it didn't take long to realize of my mistake. For very long chunks of time it could still make sense to me if I was to pick up a sidegig, like if I could save 10h/week somehow. But saving 1-2h/week, if you don't make money that time, is not worth it (economically!). You might still hate the task or it has a high risk so you decide to hire someone to do it for you, that's fine. But no more "it's less than my rate", if I'm not freelancing I don't have a rate, period.
