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 did gain two hour a "day"Submitted by gaebie on February 1, 2006 - 5:26pm.
When I started this job two years ago, I started driving 130 miles round trip and 2.5 hours (and often more) hours per day to and from work. I did this for 1.5 years. I finally moved to this area last summer; saving 100 miles and two hours a day. What a difference. With that time, I am spending way too much time on this computer. But I have started back to working out a half hour a day. I am spending more time reading, and spending time with my wife finally. But I do need to take better advantage of this extra time » POSTED IN:
