Outsource your dirty work with Do My Stuff
Today after work you have to pick up your dry cleaning, get an oil change, pick up the kids from soccer practice, buy groceries, make reservations for dinner, and find a birthday card for your mother in law.

The site is very similar to RentaCoder which specializes in outsourcing software and website assistance, except for people who need help with day to day tasks rather than code.
