The Requests You Never Knew You Could Outsource

If you’ve never worked with a lifestyle manager before, it’s easy to think their role begins and ends with booking dinners and arranging travel. But the truth is, the most valuable work we do is often the least obvious.

It’s the quiet, behind-the-scenes tasks that free up hours, remove mental load, and often solve problems you didn’t even know you could hand over.

Take the time a member asked us to help them find a sensory-friendly restaurant in central London. It wasn’t just about a nice table and good food — it was about ensuring the lighting, sound levels, and even the menu felt comfortable for a guest with specific sensory needs. That request turned into hours of research, discreet phone calls, and personalised recommendations, ending with a dinner that felt effortless for our client and deeply enjoyable for their guest.

Or the time a member needed to move house across two countries with a two-week deadline. While they focused on work and family, we coordinated international removals, managed customs paperwork, and even had their new home stocked with groceries for the day they arrived.

And then there are the smaller, almost invisible touches — sourcing the perfect gift for a loved one, arranging last-minute childcare when plans change, or managing personal admin that’s been pushed to the bottom of the to-do list for months.

The common thread? Our members don’t just gain time — they gain headspace.

Three signs you might benefit from outsourcing more than you think:

1. You have tasks you dread, delay, or feel drain your energy.

2. You find yourself thinking “I’ll get to it one day” about the same items for months.

3. You wish you could be more present with family or focused at work without distractions.

4. 
   

A lifestyle manager’s role isn’t about luxury for luxury’s sake. It’s about removing friction from your life so you can focus on what matters most — without the mental juggling act.

And often, the most life-changing support starts with a simple question: “Can you help me with…?”
