I am a huge fan of GTD and have been regulary using it. I am trying to outsource everything I can. The opportunity cost lost by trying to do everything on my own is huge. It's better to focus on what I can do best and outsource everything else. @Rob: Thanks for the tips. I am a huge fan of GTD and have been regulary using it. I am trying to outsource everything I can.

I went through the same exercise about a year ago, although I kept my employer ;)
My list:

* GTD – saved my life
* No longer hosting my own Exchange server – Gmail is free and better
* No longer hosting web site at home – have a nice friend who hosts me for free
* Read personal email once or twice a day, quite easy with the work schedule I have
* Read blogs once a day at most
* Skipped bulky lunches
* General analysis of my time if it takes more than an hour and I’m not being paid for it then I have to ask myself if it is worth me doing it, or paying someone else.
