I’m curious—what have you outsourced to Fancy Hands? I know in theory that I should be outsourcing stuff to services like that, but I really don’t know what stuff I can effectively outsource in practice.
Honestly, mostly phone calls. It sounds silly, but I have a paralytic fear of calling strangers, and that leads me to procrastinate far more than is normal even for me. Making someone else do things like (for today’s example) call around to find someone who will take a couch I’m trying to donate ensures that it doesn’t stay in the middle of the spare room for 6-12 months while I dither.
