Making a top ten list and checking it twice
Along with wish lists and reviews of the past year, December is a time to reflect on the top ten of anything. Time Magazine has listed, among other things, the 10 Best Chores to Outsource. While none of these is strictly business-related, I just love some of the choices (and am shocked by a couple of them!).
10. Designing a dress (check)
9. Decorating a home (not yet, but I’d love to)
8. Being your concierge (on my list!)
7. Sculpting a bronze bust (I so want to find someone to do this, as a birthday surprise)
6. Preparing your tax returns (check)
5. Making a video tribute for your sister’s wedding (I don’t have a sister)
4. Tutoring your son in math (don’t have a son, either)
3. Illustrating a book your mother wrote for her grandchildren (I know who I’d hire for this!)
2. Playing a video game to reach higher levels (I wouldn’t even know which game to have ‘em play for me)
1. Pregnancy (Have things gotten a little bit carried away with offshoring? According to the article: “…now you can hire someone in India to carry your child.”)
Happy Top Ten!
