For example, my office manager, Kathy, came to me one afternoon, all in a tizzy because she had two clients requesting that I conduct our time management seminar for the same dates. I don t mind taking my share of the load, but much of the time the person bringing me the problem is just as well equipped to solve it as I am.

Your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers are the people who are closest to you, they love and care for you the most and they will help you, if you ll ask. Neighbors can pool errand running.
Children can do laundry.
Co-workers will give a willing hand. But remember the adage, To have a friend, be a friend. Don t exploit. Offer to help others first and when you need their help, they ll be there for you. Each of us have 10-20 hours per week of minutia to attend to.
