Do you have reverse ADHD? I don’t know what the name for it is. Some people get deeply focused on a small group of things, and are less productive when they have to do mundane or administrative things.
It’s not about being lazy or spoiled, somehow defocusing hurts the momentum or intensity of higher priority things.
It might not be as expensive as you think. I was surprised to find how many smart, organized, reliable people there are interested in part-time work they can do 80-90%+ remotely for reasonable pay.
I don’t mention pay first. I ask what they would feel good about, then decide if it’s worth it to me. The reasoning is if someone takes an offer but secretly thinks it’s unfair it has less chance of working out well over time.
Last person said $15/hr. I made a counter offer of $20 because after the interview it still felt like a deal.
The amount of hours per week can just depend on what you need, and their schedule. They might have other part time work. 10 to 20 hours a week can be filled pretty easily with random things that grant you a lot of freedom.
I think the benefit partially depends on how you like to work and prioritize your time. But for some people, as in my case it’s worth every penny.
