Outsourcing of domestic chores
No time for home—that's the situation in which many modern-day families are caught up with. A busy outdoor life takes its toll, and there is the urge to spend the little time left for home in the best possible way. Obviously, this urge cannot include boring daily household chores, such as fetching dry cleaning and prescriptions, waiting at home for the phone technician or delivery person, organizing garages and closets, playing with the dog, shopping for groceries, or cooking the week's meals. Nonetheless, these tasks must be done to keep a household going. So what does the family do? Outsource, of course!
There is an outsourcing answer to almost all domestic tasks. Several small businesses have sprung up to take over all these tasks—you can even outsource the task of cleaning dog droppings from the backyard. All you need to do is pick up the phone, and the task will be attended to in a professional manner. The industry is burgeoning, with membership in the National Association of Professional Organizers reaching nearly 4,000, and still growing.
It all boils down to the fact that people have limited time left to them, and they want to make the most of it by spending quality time with the family. If this involves outsourcing domestic work and paying for a task well done, so be it.
