Book: General Time Knowledge

Many industries effectively “sell time” as a resource, from consulting agencies charging hourly rates to event planners booking venue hours. Global freelancers must juggle contracts where time zones can create billing or meeting conflicts. Platforms like Upwork or Fiverr let users display availability in multiple zones, helping clients understand scheduling. This business model underscores how integral time is to modern commerce, tying individual productivity to financial transactions. Understanding time’s monetization clarifies why so many services emphasize punctuality, accuracy, and clear scheduling structures.
