Price your time
Your salary, rate or business becomes a value for every hour, minute and second.
Price your time first.
Create a profile for anything with a value attached: your salary, a freelance rate, a client, a side project, a team member or a goal. Each one tells you what an hour, a minute and a second are worth.
- $150,000 salary$1.20 a minute
- $95 an hour freelance$1.58 a minute
- $250,000 goal$2.00 a minute
Make a big goal manageable.
Meet Jordan, a product lead earning $150,000 who wants to reach $250,000. An extra $100,000 a year feels abstract. Broken down, it's 80 cents more for every working minute: from $1.20 to $2.00.
That turns a goal into a rule Jordan can use all day. Work worth more than $2.00 a minute gets the time. Work worth less gets delegated, automated or dropped. Compare profiles over time to track the growth.
See how much time is left.
Outlook is the screen to open first every morning. It shows the working time left today, this week, this month and this year, in minutes and in dollars.
Work expands to fill the time you give it. When Jordan sees 140 working minutes left this afternoon, worth $280 at the goal rate, it's easy to drop the low-value task and protect the important one. This year has — days left.
Pay someone and stay on track.
If doing something yourself costs more than what you'd earn in that time, or more than your goal says your time is worth, pay someone to do it.

| Pay a cleaner | $160 |
| Goal time kept on track | $321 |
Watch time turn into dollars.
Start the money stopwatch from any profile during a focus block, a client call or a meeting. It counts dollars and cents as the minutes pass, and keeps going in the background.
A one-hour focus block at Jordan's goal rate is worth $120.19. Seeing it climb makes interruptions expensive.
Run your business on real time costs.
Add each team member as a profile, at $9.99 each, paid once and saved on your device. Then price projects on the hours they really take, add a margin, and compare the quote with the budget.
