Hi,
today I've met a friend whom I last have seen 5 years ago, when he visited us with his wife.
It was nice to see him, especially, as we had a nice discussion about the past 5 years, and he thanked me for giving him a piece of advice, that changed his life.
He asked me a couple of years ago, why I don't wash my car. I really don't wash my car by myself and usually the car gets washed, when I travel to a place where other people wash the car for cheap. Like maximum €20, for an interior and exterior wash. I told him that this is cheap labour and I don't like, and I would pay someone else to do it. I understand people that like to wash it, but for me, it is no pleasure vacuuming and trying to get in any corner of it.
This was for him a small thing that he applied and also uses today. Like avoids any small arguments on the internet or mundane tasks he delegates. I try to apply it also, but don't manage to sustain it.
The small things, that can be done by someone else, I try to delegate. At work, I have some nice ladies that do the hard work, prepare my presentations and excel files, and are probably paid half as I am. Why? Because I try to do the most important things, not the hardest. I know that it is not fair, but this is life, and life is made by choices. Each choice we make, creates a possibility of paths, which might seem fair or not so fair.
When I try to make a choice, I try to see also the time impact, as this is the resource, that is the most scarce. If I can pay money for a task that cost time, I do it most of the time. Ok, there are some relevant work that I have to do, but this is referred to work that can be delegated.
Time is more valuable than crypto, as time is a finite resource.
How do you see it? Do you try to delegate, to save time?

Yes, they want emancipation, they have emancipation.

I think it has nothing to do with fair, if they could/want they would, there is no such things of been limited by others, only we can limit our self and life is a ladder, I do the same at work and usually end up with free time, its like saying that the one who direct the orchestra has an easy job because he doesn't play an instrument and he probably gets paid more than the musicians
