I have not been paid for my time in a long time. My value is not derived in hours or seconds, but what I can deliver in satisfaction for a job well done. Sometimes I need more time to do a good job and sometimes I need very little time to do a good job. The amount of time is irrelevant to the excellence of the work. That’s not to say that time is not a factor, but it’s a factor I use for myself, not for an external entity.
