How would you use 2 extra hours each week?
Merlin Also | Jan 31 2006
If we take it as read that most of us have more things to do each day than we have hours to do them, consider this hypothetical: if you had two extra hours each week to use as you liked, how would you use them? No time travel, assumed lottery wins, or unassisted human flight allowed; put simply, to what use would you apply an extra 120 minutes every week? Me? I think I'd firewall the time to work toward a new skill. I've wanted to learn Ruby on Rails and basic Cantonese for a while now, so I think I'd use it for one of those. I definitely wouldn't use it to watch TV. I hope. You? 12 Comments

I know it sounds so sad but I am so busy (two jobs, full time single dad, upcoming wedding, refinishing one house, selling another) that I never have time to read books. I am lucky to even find a few minutes before I collapse from sheer exhaustion every night just to read a single magazine article. Two extra hours would be gift from the gods. » POSTED IN:
