An easy stress relief tip is to delegate chores or tasks to someone else if they upset you or frustrate you. The effects of stress aren’t worth it. It’ll be better for you, if you can, to delegate some of the daily annoyances to others.

Delegate: verb: To entrust to the care or management of another; to transfer; to assign; to commit.

Yes, that’s right…

you do not have to do it all yourself.

If there’s a task you don’t enjoy or don’t know how to do, delegate it to someone else.

From ironing to computer work…you can save yourself stress, aggravation, time and even money by having someone else do those tasks.

I personally have not ironed anything, nor do I have any desire or inclination to iron. At 41 yrs of age, I am glad that I’ve never had to take on this task. I see and hear too many people who seem to be glued to their ironing board after work and well, I can think of  better things I could be doing with my time than spending it ironing. If I ever wore anything that absolutely had to be ironed I’d probably pay someone to do it. The time and frustration just wouldn’t be worth it in the long run.

The time you spend doing housework or ironing, etc. you’re missing out on time with family, children, friends or whatever you truly enjoy. So, sometimes the money spent to have someone else do these things is well worth it.

If you’re the type who has to have a spotless house but yet you work 40+ hrs a week, have a family and want to enjoy time with them consider having someone else do the house cleaning for you. $40/week or whatever cleaning people charge  can give you more free time…don’t you think that it’d be worth it instead of getting upset about having to do things that are mundane but yet need done.

Another area where you can delegate is technical support, computer issues, installing WP themes, installing forums, doing scripts, etc.

Rather than bang your head against the wall and spend countless hours attempting to figure out scripts, installations, etc. it may be well worth it to hire a technical person. I know I could not live without mine! Just ask her at technicalconfusion.com, she’ll tell you. I’d much rather pay her to do things that I have no clue about than to have me waste countless hours if not days trying to figure it out. It makes more sense to have her do it and have it done quickly and done right! I know people who will spend most of the day trying to figure out wrong html, an incorrect script, etc. or how to install WP theme and yet they could’ve been working & making money during that time rather than waste it on something that they could pay someone to do. I mean do the math…you waste all day trying to figure out something and let’s say you make $150/day, it might cost you $50 to pay someone else to do the job, so you would have still earned $100/profit for the day and saved yourself a lot of stress, aggravation and frustration…money well spent!

So, next time you feel yourself getting stressed over things you think you have to do, or beating yourself up…consider delegating it to someone else!
