Service

Ask what job the thing is supposed to do, and make that job the unit instead of the object. Where the other lenses cut by parts, timing, people, or connections, this one cuts by function, so anything delivering the same result counts as the same unit.

Example

Instead of "my energy," the unit becomes the job afternoons must do: deliver two hours of focused output between 1 and 3. Now a 20-minute walk, a lighter lunch, or moving deep work to 7am all compete as ways to buy those two hours.
