In some cases, it is better to hire someone to handle the time consuming details so you can focus on what is more important to you whether it is spending quality time with your family and friends; or becoming more productive in both your personal and professional life. The key to productivity is maximizing your time and increasing your efficiency. Hiring a Personal Assistant can be another way around time constraints.

There are cases when a hiring someone to help you with the time consuming details can allow you to enjoy what's most important to you whether its quality time with your family and friends or becoming more productive in both your personal and professional life. It is up to the individual to decide where there value lies. Hire a Personal Assistant is another way of getting around time constraints.

OTOH, my marginal rate for incidental household chores is very low, perhaps because of their limited duration. Thus I have a high paid rate, but a low pay rate (what I would pay others for it). Doesn't really seem all that rational but it is the case. This is for paid work. OTOH, my marginal rate for incidental household chores is very low, perhaps because of their limited duration.

My supply curve is highly inelastic peaking near full time before falling nearly as sharply, virtually a delta function. The market supply curve is much more gradual.

The supply curve for time does not work like it does for other goods. Typically the higher the price the greater the supply and labor does follow that to a point. However, almost for everyone once price of labor hits a point the supply declines! That is, once one makes a certain amount of money their leisure time is more valuable to them then the money they can earn by working. I think it was Ben Franklin who said waste my money but not my time! I can recoup the money but not the time. I recall my economic lessons.

Which is interesting in and of itself. My time is worth different amounts in different situations. For example, I'll work for slightly less pay in a much more satisfying job with more flexible hours.

I think if one had all the money in the Earth, one could buy all the time on Earth. However, no one is going to be able to test that ;-). “But eventually you can’t buy more time on this Earth for any price.”
