This is not a fight


Time and You. It's not a fight. It cant' be won.

Sure, you want to do more stuff. But is it, though?

What if you could do LESS, in less time?

Time is nothing but a constraint. If it were a resource, you could use it at will, you could store it, you could buy and sell it.

Now, choose the most relevant.

That's your one thing. :)

The Transformation: Thinking bigger for them. The Output: Fitting into what they could afford. The Middle-Point: something that you both could co-create.

You're on a mission to help, aren't you? Giving options lets you do that at different levels. The first one you can try is free. For free? Yes and No. To help for free, yes. To work for free, no. If they can't afford you, this is how you can support them. You can help by sharing what you think and how you see things from a general POV. A perspective. It's not specific to their case, yet it's a good starting point to see what they could do by themselves —or how to get help elsewhere with a...
