Is it Possible to Outsource Your Life?

Outsourcing a segment of your business? Yes. Outsourcing your entire company? Probably. Outsourcing your whole life? Maybe, but can you really?

Outsourcing will always be around for as long as there are efficiency and productivity goals to meet. However, is it truly possible to outsource your whole life? 

Did you know that aside from customer care and IT services, you can now outsource personal assistants? Today, personal assistants can be hired from the Philippines and India and have them do all the tasks you need to finish in a day from mundane personal errands to the credible and official ones you need to accomplish before the day ends. With an outsourced personal assistant, you can have someone book your plane ticket for the holidays, answer calls and emails for you, take messages when you are not available to speak, transcribe your meetings, interview applicants, buy an anniversary present for your significant other, manage your personal or your business' social media presence and so much more.

With the possibility of having a remote personal assistant work for you and get things mundane and official tasks completed, it only goes to show that our lives are so digitally embedded. You can have someone improve your day and take away some of your daily stresses virtually. 

Aside from outsourcing your entire life from a remote personal assistant, you can do so by judging the gadgets and pieces of technology that you use every day. 

The science behind the smart phone or the laptop that you use 24/7 may come from techno think tanks in the United States or in Europe, but the manufacture of its different parts and its assembly are all outsourced. China is an outsourcing capital for the manufacture and assembly of everyday technologies. Aside from the fact that labour costs are cheaper in China, this country also has far more updated technology in creating smart phones and laptops compared to to these techno think tanks. The irony is there, but it makes outsourcing in our lives essential nonetheless.

Truly, outsourcing your entire life is possible, and this fact of life becomes a revelation in terms of how our time costs and how we spend them especially when it comes to outsourcing personal assistants. Aside from the time factor, the issue of outsourcing is also a test or a testimony of the trust that can be established between 2 entities.
