A 20-minute fix from someone who's done it a hundred times is worth more than three hours from someone figuring it out. hourly pricing punishes you for getting better the faster and more accurate you become, the less you earn for the same result. if you're still quoting by the hour, start thinking about what the outcome is worth to the client instead of how long it takes you to deliver it. your experience has a price. make sure you're charging it.
