Outsource a Personal Assistant

I’ve been putting in effort lately to pay people to do things that I don’t want to do anymore.  Things like laundry, cleaning, and cooking.  While talking to my friend glenn about my latest preoccupation, a personal assistant, he recommends I outsource it.  After a little googling on the topic, I found this charming, albeit dated, article in esquire detailing one man’s interactions with a variety of virtual assistants.

I get an introductory email from my personal-life outsourcer. Her name is Asha. Even though the firm’s called Your Man in India, I’ve been assigned another woman. Hmm. I suspect these outsourcers figure I’m a randy men’s-magazine editor who enjoys bossing around the ladies. I email Asha a list of books I want from Amazon.com and a birthday gift I’d like her to buy my wife, Julie — a silicone pot holder. (Romantic, no?) Both go smoothly.

Whether or not you’re looking for your own personal assistant, I recommend reading this article.  Check it out here.
