It’s not more efficienct in terms of time, it just require a lot less mental energy and headspace — you just turn up and do what they tell you — so from that point of view it’s more efficient (it’s also why I do crossfit)

Design a workout regime (~1 hr, or less), then do what the regime lays out. With a trainer (or class) you're paying for accountability and discipline. Which you can give yourself for free.

Right, except: a) a lot of people can't design their own workout regime in 1 hr b) accountability/discipline are free in terms of money, but not in terms of mental energy/cognitive load b) is

Yes you are. Point is to pick example where the trade is worth it for you. The examples are to illustrate the reasoning pattern, not the specific trade.

My resolutions are usually stuff like "write more," and "participate in more community activities." I guess this will only work for things that can be outsourced.

This is very interesting because I have tended to believe others are generally not qualified to benefit me in my personal goals. Maybe I need to sign up for some classes, etc., to test my hypothesis.

You could be right. In that case — treat yourself to a writing vacation etc. There’s usually a way to throw money at a problem if you can make more to throw.

I thought of something I could hire someone for, but first I need to hire someone to find a person to provide that service.

Also my original point only applies if you have some ability to increase income in proportion. Cutting expenses in X to spend more on Y is a different type of life hack
