Is this work worth my hourly rate? The question isn't stated accurately - it needs to take into account the overhead of organizing someone else to do it, the risks and hassles of miscommunication and so on.
However, he's likely thinking of tasks where the answer is clear enough - things like laundry and cleaning. The margin for error is so great, it overcomes any reasonable overhead. As Buffett/Munger say, you don't need to know a man's exact weight to know if he is fat.
