There are twenty-four hours in a day, but not everyone has the same twenty-four hours all the time. Some people are busier than others in general, with families or more demanding jobs. No matter what your normal level of busy is, there is an inevitable ebb and flow. You’ll be busier at certain times than you are at others. However, there are some tools and services that can take some of the burden off when you’re too busy. Here are six outsourcing services that can make your daily life easier.
- Grocery Delivery
There are many examples of grocery delivery offers, from a local Denver grocery delivery service to global apps dedicated to delivering your groceries right to your door. People who live in cities and other places where it may be more difficult to access grocery stores quickly and easily may benefit the most from these services, but they’re increasingly common in all communities. Using these services, you can order your groceries online or via an app and request delivery to your address. You can also request that an employee pick out your groceries so you can pick them up at a designated time.
- Task And Chore Services
Hiring contractors to take care of electricity and plumbing issues, maintain your landscaping or renovate your property is standard practice. However, it’s increasingly common for people to hire gig workers to complete daily tasks for them that they are too busy to complete themselves. Task and chore services match people who need help with their chores to people who feel confident taking on those tasks. Many of these services offer lists of specified tasks their members may be able to complete. If you’re looking for a handyman, someone to pick up your dry cleaning or anything in between, chances are you’ll find someone to hire on one of these apps.
- Meal Delivery
Like grocery delivery, meal delivery services are increasingly popular. Unlike grocery delivery, these services have existed in some capacity for decades, with restaurants such as pizzerias offering delivery services up to certain distances. Modern meal delivery’s innovation is in its explosive diversity. Many types of restaurants offer independent delivery services, but you can also order delivery via third-party apps. You can also order meal plans and prep for delivery, with services that provide a week’s worth of ingredients for meals you choose and step-by-step recipes to prepare them, bypassing the grocery story.
- Rideshare Services
Taxis and public transit are still vital methods of transportation, but rideshare apps provide an additional option for travelers. Rideshare services are on-demand and decentralized, which means you don’t need to wait for a bus or train to arrive according to its schedule or call an office to request a taxi. Instead, download an app and request a ride. Drivers with the service can accept your request and pick you up within minutes. Rideshare services come with additional customizability options that traditional transportation lacks. You can select a vehicle size and type which the app then searches for, for example.
- Same-day And Next-day Delivery
As the world becomes increasingly interconnected and communication becomes faster, people expect other services to keep up. Many service providers are attempting to meet those expectations, including delivery services. Traditionally, package and mail delivery has taken several business days at minimum unless you pay for expedited shipping. It may be longer depending on what you’re shipping and where. However, modern delivery services are developing ways to speed up package transportation. Many people are now used to their packages arriving in as little as one or two days.
- Pet-sitting and House-sitting
If you have pets, plants or possessions in your home that you don’t want to leave alone while you’re traveling, you can seek out someone to take care of them while you’re away. These services match you with people who have experience taking care of the things you love when you’re not there, making sure plants are watered, possessions are safe and animals are happy and healthy.
These and many other services provide people with opportunities to outsource chores and other necessary daily activities when they feel overwhelmed or are simply too busy to address everything in a timely manner. Use your discretion to decide which services you use. You only need to use the ones you’re comfortable with or that will help you the most.
