I was more thinking of things like housekeeping, grocery shopping, taking the car to the shop, and the like...things that are routine, time consuming, and can’t be automated, so that over a lifetime they take up a truly infuriating number of hours.
Unfortunately they also require a good deal of trust for anyone hired to do them.
You can automate aspects of them. I have heard that people have had success using Amazon’s ‘subscriptions’ where you set up a recurring order every X months for a particular foodstuff or household good, which certainly could help reduce time on grocery shopping.
That wouldn’t work for groceries for us, because Reasons, but I was unaware that feature existed and can think of other things for which it may be helpful. Thanks.
[ETA: Some places have companies that do grocery delivery, which I would totally pay for, but none of them deliver here. Too far out from the city, seems like. :-( ]

Am setting this up now.
