Recently, we suggested outsourcing chores to add time to our 24/7 work schedule. Doing a little research I came across the blog about the book The 4-Hour Workweek, which we recently reviewed, and an account by AJ Jacobs, editor-at-large at Esquire magazine, about his experience outsourcing his chores. He started by assigning a little research to his virtual assistant (VA) and in the end he was even outsourcing his worries! From his account they definitely seem like a good idea.
