When to outsource

Filed under: productivity — blog @ 6:21 pm

Elance, Get Friday and the host of other internet based outsourcing websites today make it easier than ever to outsource parts of your daily work.  Outsourcing- you might think - is the concern of owner-managers or plain old managers.  Not so.  A recent presentation by Joe Vitael proffered a simple equation for when to outsource.  Take whatever it is you earn as a salary - say 50k per year.  Half it and divide by a thousand.  That gives you what your hourly wage is.  If you have something on your todo list which you can outsource for half of that money  - do it - get it off your plate.
