| I'd mix it up a bit ... | Jul 17, 2010 |
Spend more time with my family, work more, sleep more, read a book, relax, socialise. I think I need more than one extra hour!

I'm like Mary, there are so many options...
I'm debating between sleeping, maybe a bit of exercise, or maybe more time with my current number one hobby: balcony gardening.
I definitely WOULDN'T spend the time working.

I'd like to think that I would get more sleep, read, or engage in a hobby, but my schedule is hopelessly mixed up because of priorities that emerge. I wouldn't have the discipline to set that time aside and do something different.

That's exactly my case, too. I would end up using that extra hour for work.

Definitely sleep! I only get about 4 hours of sleep a night these days, so an extra hour of sleep would be more than welcome!

That "extra" hour is hard to say - maybe some time with the family because there's not much work done or even study during that hour. Or I could do the invoicing which I hate so much, or I've been depriving my family of these precious hours.
Think of the cumulative effect of extra hours piled up over the days, I think I will definitely do the invoicing and spending time with my family.
Or even go through my Webinars as I often miss them even after I've paid for them.

well you know when the time changes, twice a year and for one day our 24 hours become 25?.... well, I have always used it to work... so why should I pretend something different?
have a nice weekend all of you

| oh, I thought | Jul 17, 2010 |
translators days were 48 hours long. Lots of clients and agencies seem to think so...

I would play, practice piano, compose, arrange record, etc. I didn't pick "hobby," because it's not a hobby, it's a career. And actually this is what I do most of the time when I'm not translating anyway...way more than an hour a day, unless I'm really loaded with translation jobs.

I seldom watch TV, so I use the extra time to watch it or read anything interesting.

In memoriam | Take some time out for research | Jul 20, 2010 |
I’d spend the time finding out who provided the extra hour and how he controlled time.
Then I’d start manufacturing hours and selling them … for a reasonable price and with satisfaction guaranteed!
I’d make a fortune and live forever.
