Time is the only currency we have.
So imagine a shop that specialises in time saving equipment and
services.

Almost all equipment and sevices are time-saving to the extent
that, if you buy them, you don't have to spend the time required
to provide them yourself. |
|
|
Services I can think of. Imagine fancy questionnaires that
take 10 minutes to complete and a healthy dose of machine
learning to work out what people prefer given
recommendations. |

Pick a country
Pick a type of holiday; bucket a spade, party holiday etc.." |

"Do you have children?"
"Who do you want to receive what?" |

Mystery Dinner Date . com (taxi picks you up and deposits
you somewhere mysterious) |
|
|
Can I buy a service from them that buys all the
services from them that I need? This saving me
the time of going to the shop to work out what
services they have and whether or not I need
them? |
|
|
Also if they can do my taxes, pay my road tolls and
bills, and generally manage my life admin for me,
all while taking a % out of the service providers
margin so I dont have to pay anything more, then
that would be great too. |

You can't take it with you, you know ... |

Oh. I thought you might have figured out a way to actually
sell time, using maybe relativity or something. If there was
a shop where you could actually buy time, by the second (or
kilosecond), I would be very interested. This sounds more
like JMLDirect. |
|
|
I could do good business selling time. It's £200 per hour. Now sit there, pay your £200 and I'll start the clock. When you have had your hour, you can either leave or pay another £200. |

[-] In no way does time need saving. |
|
|
It's just a constant attribute. Locally hire some people, that is, expend more energy (more time) to get more done. |
