Has anyone here ever delegated part of their research or writing work? Was it worth it?

I’ve been juggling multiple deadlines lately, and it got me thinking — has anyone here ever handed off part of their research or writing to someone else? I’m pretty good at drafting ideas, but formatting sources and editing long papers drains me fast. Last semester I tried asking a friend for help, but coordinating schedules was a mess. I’m curious if delegating parts of a project actually saves time or just adds stress.

I once had a roommate who split his workload between team members and external help, and it changed how I saw time management entirely. Watching him juggle two internships and a full course load while still managing to have evenings free made me rethink how tightly I try to do everything by myself. He always looked calm, even during exam season, which honestly surprised me — especially when I was buried in caffeine and open tabs.

I’ve done it a couple of times, mostly during my final year when I had three major essays overlapping. Delegating a small portion like citations or proofreading helped more than I expected. I checked out SameDayEssay Reviews to see how others handled it, and a lot of people mentioned using assistance for specific tasks instead of the whole paper. That approach worked for me — I still controlled the research and structure, but someone else handled the boring parts. I didn’t feel like I was giving up ownership of the work, just saving time and stress.
