The amount one can do is limited by the number of hours in a day. It’s zero sum, focusing one’s time on something means not focusing on something else. It’s useful to think of money as a way of leveraging one’s time by spending it to eliminate tasks one must do. For example, using a wash and fold service instead of going to a laundromat and doing it oneself will save about an hour of time that can be repurposed. In that way, money for time is leverage on one’s ability to focus on the right things.

Something you focus on seems more important than it actually is. This is apparent if you consider that at any moment there are many problems to solve, but the one you are thinking about is the one that tends to get solved.
