I have been noticing this with myself as well. I have been putting a general price on my time to see if I should pay someone or do it myself. For example if it took me an hour to mow my lawn and I could pay someone $20 to do that, I value that hour more than the $20 and pay someone to do that for me.
It’s like a very small scale supply and demand.
I'd hope you're not paying $20 for an hours work in Australia, that would be illegal as it's less then minimum wage. (Assuming they're an adult anyway.)
