FYI, $180/hour is phenomenal by nearly anyone's standards. Nothing wrong with pushing for higher, just don't get worked up trying to keep up with the McKenzies.

Question for the creators: I have small children who wake me up almost every night at inconsistent times. Am I going to get much benefit out of a Luna, or are my broken sleep habits going to render Luna less effective?

I agree the budgeting method isn't complete. When I write, I always debate whether to delve into related subjects. I decided to keep it simple here. Don't treat my method as the end-all!

I actually agree with you completely. I bill daily, but this was the first step for me to get there. By the way, thank you for your contributions. Reading your HN profile was a big motivation to move to daily rates - the little bullet point
