 Ef, you are right pricing in sats is one thing. Valuing in sats is very different 
 under a US dollar UoA
what does "valuing in sats" look like? 
 I used to use an easy 1k sats =$1

This is just easy math and is still fiat. When I mow a lawn, create a flower bouquet, or create something on nostr and request sats, outside of any quick conversions I start to value my time & efforts in hard money. 
 So...
if thats still fiat
how exactly are you valuing your time and efforts in hard money?

I'm not understanding something... 
 No you helped me see I wasn't thinking in sats I was thinking in. Converted dollars.

I need to start to think I did job X it is worth (N) sats. not I did job X and its worth dollars or stas 
 I think Nostr/zaps are helping me switch my mindset to sats. I never think “oh I sent that guy 3 cents worth of bitcoin”. I think “send that legend 17 sats”. 
 It's a start 
 Which is hard because a transaction requires two parties.  The one valueing the payment in sats and the other pricing the cost in sats is required for unit of account to finally break through as a useful metric.  

If it takes two to tango one can't be trying to rave. 
 No thats not what this is about. This is an internal thing in your brain. You need not have the other party pay with sats to only think in sats.
