Are you one of those people who feel like there just aren't enough hours in the day to get things done?

Well, as strange as it sounds, a personal concierge might just be the answer.

They can take care of everything from taking the dog to the vet to buying birthday presents.

Personal concierge Debbie Alford told the TODAY show she can assist with everything from planning parties to helping out new mums.

"For the women it's the wife they have always wanted and for the men it's like having a wife without the sex," she said.

So what else does the personal concierge service provide and how much will it cost? Find out more in the video player above.

I am a Personal Concierge in Brisbane, I have been operating for nearly five years but our industry is still in its infancy in Australia. A Personal Concierge is as common as a personal trainer in the States and UK and has been for many years. Australians should not be afraid to outsource and stop trying to be superman or superwoman! We can't do it all, we should not be afraid to get some assistance, and free up time to do spend with family and friends. We also have iCALM the Institute of Concierge and Lifestyle Mangers for anyone with any questions about a Personal Concierge.
