I speak as one of the Lyttelton Harbour Timebanking coordinators. In Timebanking you don’t do direct trades so I could earn some timecredits by cutting someone’s hair, then save those credits to spend at another time on complementary therapy, or having a jersey knitted or having some te reo lessons, or even having my garden hoed. In a timebank you are not limited by one skill or talent but you can respond to requests as they come up. So even if no one wants you to hoe their garden you can earn credits in numerous other ways and you may discover talents and skills you didn’t know you had.

Won’t time banking stifle innovation ?
If I get my haircuts and food from hoeing, won’t a hoeing technological advance be disastrous for me ?
Thanks
