Moving Beyond Calendly: The Logic of Time Auctions

In a world of infinite connection, your time has become the ultimate bottleneck. Standard scheduling is built on a "first-come, first-served" basis, which is fundamentally flawed for anyone in high demand.

First-Come-First-Served is a Bug, Not a Feature

When you use a standard booking link, a low-value 15-minute sync can block a high-value strategic session just because it was booked five minutes earlier. This creates "schedule debt." Rent My Time solves this by introducing market logic into your calendar.

The Auction Advantage

Time auctions serve two purposes: they filter out low-intent requests and they reveal the true market value of your consultation. When someone bids for a slot, they are signal-stamping the importance of the meeting. This ensures you spend your working hours on the highest-leverage activities possible.
