And it actually works well for me because the task is completed on my off-time.
I go to work and my house gets cleaned, or I'm at home and my office gets cleaned so its not actually using my productive time.
And as many have mentioned, 'off-time' is productive time. Everyone needs rest or you're going to burn out.

We're not all in a competition to out-frugal each other, anyway. All of us can come up with examples of where we splurge and where we scrimp. I fought tooth and nail against a house cleaner before we got ours because it seemed like an egregious waste of money to me. Now I couldn't live without it. Love leaving work from a normal house and coming home to an immaculate show home.
I had to type all that because I couldn't just click "thanks" on your post (still out).
