I generally agree though this depends on which part of the world you're from. Some useful metrics for delegating/outsourcing

1. If it's a specialty that you don't have but is important, consider outsourcing (e.g. accounts, design etc.)

2. Like parent said, freelance is good for transactional stuff but for long term engagements, outsource to a company whose people you've met or know (Atleast via. a reliable referral).

3. Food (and exercise/health). If this gets hurt, the whole business gets hurt so it's worth spending time, energy and money here.

4. Shopping, laundry etc. - Batch these things. Do what you need once a week so that it's under control but doesn't take up too much time.

It's useful (though not fool proof) to calculate your opportunity cost when you do things yourself. If you're worth $50 an hour (consulting time etc.) and spend 2 hours to buy $25 worth groceries, it's something you need to look at outsourcing or delegating.
