An Indian-origin CEO's LinkedIn post ignited a discussion about efficiency, delegation, and the value of time. The entrepreneur explained how he prioritises high-value work over home duties, stating he had not done the dishes in four years.In his post, the CEO stated, "Haven¡¯t done dishes in 4 years. Not because I¡¯m lazy. Because my time is worth $5,000/hour."?
The CEO closed his post by inviting everyone to rethink how they spend their time: "Stop doing $15/hour tasks. Start doing $5,000/hour work.That's how you scale."?
He stated why he made the decision, claiming that outsourcing activities like cleaning dishes, which could be outsourced for $15/hour, allowed him to focus on work worth $5,000 per hour. "Simple maths," he said, declaring the decision "obvious."
