Personal Assistent on Sunday

With a few notable exceptions, concierge services and personal assistants are a luxury that tends to be beyond the reach of all but the most well-heeled members of society.

Not so with Sunday a request-based service that offers 24/7 personal assistance by internet or phone.

New York-based Sunday lets busy people in the US, Canada and the UK delegate chores as they arise, with monthly fees starting at just USD 29 and no cost to join.

The site’s agents are available 24/7 by email or phone, ready to make outbound calls, arrange travel plans, set dinner reservations, enable remote access to numerous websites and take action in emergency situations—virtually anything that can be handled remotely. Messenger and errand services are also available in New York City.

Sunday was founded in 2006, and plans to expand to other major cities around the world. In this time-starved era, it’s hard to imagine a place where the concept wouldn’t succeed, especially with lifestyle gurus like Tim Ferriss promoting personal outsourcing.
