Worth Every Second: The Economics of My Time & Companionship

Writer: Rhana AdaireRhana Adaire
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that time—my time, your time, our time—is the most precious, non-renewable resource there is. And like any high-demand commodity, its value fluctuates. Lately, I’ve found myself at an interesting crossroads, balancing the deep joy I find in connection with the undeniable reality that there are only so many hours in a day. And that, my dear, is why you may have noticed some changes in my rates over the past month.
The laws of supply and demand don’t just apply to champagne and fine dining; they apply to me as well. I’ve always been selective with my time, but as I continue to grow—both personally and professionally—I’ve had to become even more intentional. Between pursuing studies, engaging in community work that matters deeply to me, and managing every aspect of my business myself (yes, every single tweet, post, and message you see comes directly from me), my availability has become more limited. And with that, the time I do offer needs to be valued accordingly.

But here’s the thing—I wouldn’t have it any other way. The way I do things, from personally running all my social media and advertising to handling every detail behind the scenes, gives me a level of flexibility and authenticity that I cherish. It allows me to keep my circle small, to focus on real, meaningful connections rather than fleeting transactions. When I choose to spend time with someone, it’s because I want to, and that makes all the difference.

As spring approaches, my schedule will become even more curated. I’ll be traveling more, shaping my trips around those who extend invitations in advance. New Haven, Fort Lauderdale, and Richmond are calling, but my time in each will be as limited as ever. If you’ve been thinking about meeting me, or reconnecting if it’s been a while, now is the time to reach out—because, like any rare and exquisite experience, I won’t always be available.

Scarcity is a funny thing. It makes what’s rare even more valuable, and it reminds us that nothing lasts forever. Life has a way of moving quickly, of shifting when we least expect it. The best moments are the ones we choose to create, the ones we don’t put off for ‘someday.’ So, while I’m here, let’s make the most of it. Let’s indulge, let’s revel in the now, let’s make memories. Time, as we both know, waits for no man.
