I guess “hire someone” is always an option, but it’s a difficult task sometimes, especially finding someone reliable. It’s not even that the larger thing is outside my ability, it’s just “ugh, I don’t have time for this”.
Curious if anyone has any tips and tricks to overcome this kind of paralysis.
When I had my auto body shop, I got access to some estimating software for a short bit. I quickly spotted a pattern where if I looked at a job and honestly estimated, back of the napkin style, how long the job would take for each step, the software estimated 3 times that amount, but it took the long way around to arrive at the same baseline. The supplies were always doubled. This is how I look at every task now. Give it your best estimates and triple that time. assuming you understand the scope of the work, you’ll encompass around 90% of work tasks with the rest going over or under.
