Hey, it’s Jeffrey — back again!
I’ve been thinking a lot about time lately.
I love my work, but I also love free evenings, weekend trips, and not spending hours doing things that drain me.
That’s why I built something new this week:
→ A Custom GPT that helps you decide whether outsourcing is actually worth it.
Should you pay for a house cleaner, meal delivery, babysitter, or admin help?
This GPT walks you through the math and the lifestyle trade-offs — without guilt or jargon.

⚙️ How It Works
It walks you through a few quick questions:
What task are you thinking about outsourcing?
How much time does it save?
How much does it cost?
What’s your effective hourly rate?
How stressful is this task for you?
Then it gives you a Green / Yellow / Red light verdict — plus a short, thoughtful next step.
It’s like having a calm money coach who actually respects your time.
🧪 Real Example #1: Is Cleaning Worth Outsourcing?
You:
“I make $120,000/year and I’m thinking of paying $150/month for a cleaner. It saves me 4 hours a month.”
GPT:
🟢 Green Light — Your time is worth ~$60/hour, and this service costs $37.50/hour.
You’re buying back time at a discount and reducing stress.
Try a 1-month trial to see if it frees up energy for higher-value work or better rest.
🧪 Real Example #2: Meal Delivery vs. Childcare
You:
“Should I spend $200/month on meal prep (saves 5 hours) or hire a babysitter for 8 hours/week at $20/hour? I make $100k.”
GPT:
Meal Prep: 🟡 Yellow Light — Slightly more than your effective rate. Worth it if cooking drains you.
Childcare: 🟢 Green Light — Strong trade-off for time, especially if you use it for focused work or recharge time.
Start with 4 hours/week and track how it impacts your energy and schedule.
