📍 $10,000/hour work
Khe Hy from Rad Reads has written an excellent post on 'The magic of doing $10,000 per hour work'. It's a fantastic concept that helps you do that complex work of discerning where to spend your time and energy.
📍 Integration is key
As always with great frameworks I was keen to work out how to integrate this. I needed a tool to assess how I am positioned, an audit. I really wanted a straightforward view of what percentage of my tasks are in each category. Something that I can utilise periodically or perhaps use in a weekly review for a season as I try and improve in this area.
📍 End Result
Here's the end result. Easily integrated with your existing task system, this super simple database can be displayed in a dashboard or weekly review template. You don't even need to follow a particular task methodology to make it work for you.
⚠️
Of course there's a bunch of complexity under the hood to make this happen so you've got two options from this point, you can either:
- grab the template (PWYW) or
- build it yourself with the step by step guide below.

📍 Step by step guide
If you're up for creating your own then let's walk through how to create this table for yourself and integrate it with your existing task system.
- Create a database called $/hr Audit with a table view.
- Create 4 entries titled
- Create a Relation property called whatever your tasks db is named. Select your task db.
- Create a Rollup property called Number of Tasks. Select your task db as the RELATION, the $/hr Audit relation as the PROPERTY and Count values for CALCULATE.
- Create a Formula property called Number of Tasks. Specify the formula
- Create a Relation property called $/hr Audit and select the database you are working in $/hr Audit. From the options presented select "Use the same property" and click "Create relation".
- Create another Rollup property called Total Tasks. Select $/hr Audit as the RELATION, the formula property Number of Tasks as the PROPERTY and Sum for CALCULATE.
- Create a Formulas property called Percentage of tasks. Specify the formula
- Hide all the properties except Title and Percentage of tasks.
- If you look at your tasks db you will see a new property there called Related to $/hr Audit (Column). Change the name of that property to $/hr.
$10/hour
$100/hour
$1000/hour
$10000/hour
prop("Number of Tasks")round(prop("Number of Tasks") / prop("Total Tasks") * 100) / 100| $/hr | $/hr tasks | Number of Tasks 1 | Number of Tasks | $/hr Audit | Total Tasks | Percentage of tasks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
$10/hour | 4 | 4 | 0 | NaN | ||
$100/hour | 3 | 3 | 0 | NaN | ||
$1000/hour | 2 | 2 | 0 | NaN | ||
$10000/hour | 1 | 1 | 0 | NaN |
📍 Categorise your tasks and assess your position
Now you need to select a $/hour reference for each of your tasks.
