Is your ‘to do’ list killing you?

Need someone to help you with tasks that you’re buried up to your eyebrows in – that never ending, haunting ‘to do’ list?? Or, perhaps you’re in between jobs, not sure what you want to do, trying to get some marketable skills? A colleague sent this site over to me and I wanted to pass it on to you because it is just “neat”. Check out – DoMyStuff.com – I love their tagline “outsource your life”.

People can post any task/job they want to have done and then you can bid on the job. What I think is so cool about this is the way a new idea can just blossom. According to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle, one of the founders of the business said that it all came out of a joke. Talking about how he would like to outsource ‘finding a girlfriend’ along with someone to do the laundry, clean the garage, etc. All of the sudden he thought “what a good idea” let’s do it. Now that’s an entrepreneur!

It is just amazing what our brains can do if we don’t shut them down with our clever negative chatterbox.

Apparently this little site is gaining popularity quickly – over 25,000 users so far and it’s free (always nice…). Here’s a link to the SF Chronicle article, definitely worth a read.

The only other site that I can think of that is near DoMyStuff.com is Elance, where you can also post jobs and bid on jobs. Although, Elance has a heavier focus on technical outsourcing like website design, engineering, programming, etc. I have personally used Elance and give high marks to the ease of use, quality of people bidding, as well as the individual we selected for our job. A first class experience all around.

So, if you’ve got ‘stuff’ that’s bogging you down put a posting on DoMyStuff.com and get on with your life. Like they say, it can’t always just be for the rich and famous (right?).
