“Alexa... Can You Clone Humans Yet?”
“Alexa, order paper towel”. In the era of voice-commanded smart devices that seemingly grant us an extra set of hands, the allure of a seamlessly integrated future is within reach. However, as we explore ways to streamline our lives with technology, it's essential to consider the transformative impact of outsourcing tasks to intelligent, breathing humans.
A Harvard professor actually claims that outsourcing chores could make you as happy as getting an $18,000 raise, saying “people who prioritize time report greater happiness than people who prioritize money.” By delegating tasks like grocery shopping, individuals can reclaim valuable time, fostering a focus on personal well-being.
Outsourcing household duties can get you days of your life back, and also leaves time to focus on your physical and mental health. Some of these tasks include:
Laundry
Cleaning
Cooking
Childcare
Home maintenance
Pet care
Travel planning
Ways outsourcing household duties benefits mental and physical health:
Stress is reduced knowing the home is taken care of by pros so you can focus on self-care
Better work-life balance that allows you to spend off hours on rejuvenating activities
The enhanced holistic lifestyle of coming home to a clean house and chef-prepared meal
More freedom allows you to have new experiences
Free time to take care of your body and mind
Reduction in chronic stress created by multitasking
