Does anybody literally pay themselves for work

I'm bad at hiring contractors.

I'm working on fixing that.

Often I tell myself "I could save X number of dollars by doing work myself".

My dayjob translates into about 40/hr, so I figure if I hire someone at $50/hr I'm m breaking even (20% tax savings)

I'm thinking about literally moving $50 from the my business to personal account every time I do an hour of hammer swinging.

Im frugal, so this might entice me to stop doing too much work myself.

Does anybody else do this?
