It\u2019s tempting to think of life as one long to-do list. Another load of laundry<\/a>, another errand<\/a> to run, another moving box to unpack<\/a>. Check off one task, forget it, and move on to the next. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if we\u2019ve learned anything in the past ten years, it\u2019s that the small things add up. Another box unpacked, and another, and then another, means one step closer to making a house feel like a home. Another load of laundry put away means a weight lifted off someone\u2019s shoulders and an extra hour to linger at the dinner table. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve heard from clients and Taskers alike that getting and giving help on Taskrabbit goes beyond doing chores. And we agree. When we think about it that way\u2014days, not minutes; truckloads, not a single moving box; and people you can rely on, not strangers\u2014together, we\u2019ve done more than just check another to-do off a never-ending list. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through ten years of helping people tackle everything from nagging tasks to daunting projects, Taskers have redefined what it means to have help for life. Here\u2019s a look at what the Taskrabbit community has accomplished in the last decade.

You\u2019ve been out-of-this-world productive<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Collectively, Taskers have saved people <\/span>over<\/b> 4 million hours<\/b>. That\u2019s <\/span>over 450 years<\/b>. You could take<\/span> 25 round trips to Pluto from Earth<\/b> in that time!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over <\/span>148,000 <\/b>Taskers have used Taskrabbit\u2019s platform and community to grow their skills and businesses. Whether part-time or full-time, we\u2019ve given Taskers the freedom to work for themselves, when and how they want. Our longest tenured Tasker, Marc H.<\/a> of Boston, has completed over <\/span>2,900<\/b> tasks since 2009, while our top-earning Tasker raked in <\/span>$309,000 in just four years<\/b> on Taskrabbit! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know how hard it is to find your \u201cgo-to\u201d person, so we\u2019re not surprised that once you find them, you go back again and again. Taskers have won over clients\u2019 pets, been entrusted with keys to their homes, and watched their kids grow up. <\/span>Over 700,000<\/b> of you have hired the same Tasker more than once. More impressively, Boston Tasker Robin S.<\/a> has done over <\/span>160 tasks<\/b> for client Josh S. over <\/span>4 years.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proposals, birthdays, anniversaries, big moves, babies, school bake sales, college move-ins \u2026 name a life milestone, and Taskers have been part of it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
