This month, as we honour the women that went before us, who were instrumental in securing civil rights for all South Africans, it is incumbent on us to acknowledge the sometimes-heavy load that is shouldered by the fairer sex.

Since South Africa remains a largely patriarchal society, women from all walks of life are still relied upon to cope with demanding jobs, childrearing, chores, household maintenance and myriad family obligations.
The stress of being all things to everyone can take an enormous toll on their mental wellbeing, physical health, and overall happiness.
With this said, high performing women realise that productivity is key to success and are learning to outsource home-based projects which in turns helps them to free up time to focus on their own well-being as well as that of their families.
Whilst outsourcing home-based chores may seem like an additional expense it can, in reality, contribute to higher earnings, career development, and personal growth. As an example: if a woman earns R20 000 a month, this is broken down into a daily ‘rate’ of R952. If she spends five hours on miscellaneous chores this has effectively ‘cost’ her R595 in what is essentially wasted time. Time she could have invested far more efficiently, focused on tasks that actually makemoney and contribute to the bottom line.
