"For repetitive tasks or errands, it makes sense for some people to hire a helping hand for the price of $50 or $60 an hour-or even cheaper if you enlist the services of AI. And while there's only so much someone who isn't employed by your company can do for you when it comes to work matters, there's still plenty they can do otherwise that could help your work-life balance."
"Make no mistake: Hiring someone to do work for you is a luxury. But depending on your circumstances and situation, and if you can swing the financials, it may make sense to at least explore options. Here are some signs you might need the extra help: You are drowning in repetitive tasks If you don't have a virtual or executive assistant, then the assistant is you. Repetitive tasks-screening emails, scheduling meetings, and planning travel logistics-can quickly eat up your time."
Executive assistants were once mainly for celebrities and Fortune 500 executives, but more rank-and-file workers now hire assistants, including virtual and AI options. Workers are using assistants for tasks such as booking, calendar management, and errands to reclaim time. Schedules are tightly packed and globalization plus artificial intelligence have lowered the cost and friction of outsourcing. Typical rates can be $50–$60 per hour or less with AI. Outsourced help cannot fully replace internal employees for company-specific work, but assistants can handle many life-admin and repetitive tasks that free up work hours. Tracking time helps identify what to delegate.
