Suppose you could randomly insert as many extra hours as you wanted into your day — for example to make those pesky deadlines. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal, doesn’t it?
But suppose this gift came at a high price: For every extra hour you get now, two hours get subtracted off the end of your life.
Would you go for it? Or would you balk at the steep interest rate?
For me, just knowing such a deal was available would make me think long and hard about how I spend my time. Rather than accepting the offer, I think I’d end up spending my existing hours more efficiently.
One day, hopefully a long time from now, I’m sure I would thank me.
Can I get a shorter day now and add hours? Make my day 12 hours long then.
Ok with me. 😉
