Getting all of life done, by not trying to do it all yourself. New article on trends in outsourcing your “wifely duties”.

Wednesday, November 24, 2010

I've been saying it for years, and I’ve written in my book Little Wins for Working Women that what modern-day women with successful careers need to do is to get themselves a wife. Or someone to do the cooking, the cleaning, the laundry and all the mundane tasks that eat up your time, stress you out and mean that you can’t focus as much attention on your career as you would like to.

 

Did you know in the last five years the household spending on domestic services like cleaning, cooking, nannies and dogwalking has doubled? Find out why this has happened, and exactly how you might benefit from letting go of those responsibilities, so you can do the ones closer to your heart.

 

This article explores the exciting trend in outsourcing of these tasks through they eyes of Jill Collins, a successful PR advisor with two kids and a household to look after.
