Outsource if something isn’t worth your time
That’s where you decide to spend some of your income to have others do for you what isn’t worth what your time is worth.
For example, I used to mow my own lawn. It took at least an hour every week, but sometimes more because I would have to go out to buy gas for the mower, and add oil, and clean it, and occasionally sharpen the blade.
And then when I got done, I’d be sweating and tired, and need to cool down with a drink of water and maybe a shower. So one hour turned into two hours, often.
So, even though it was good exercise, there came a time when I decided that it wasn’t worth my time, and I hired a landscaper to mow our lawn every week during the growing season. It costs me $25 per week, and I don’t have to think about the chore. My time is worth more than $25 per hour, or the $12.50 per hour if you consider my cooldown time when I did the mowing.
