Spend more time with my family, work more, sleep more, read a book, relax, socialise. I think I need more than one extra hour! | | | John Cutler España Local time: 22:08 español al inglés + ... Choices, choices | Jul 17, 2010 |
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. | | | Same old thing | Jul 17, 2010 |
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. | |

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! | | | Trinh Do Australia Miembro 2007 inglés al vietnamita + ...
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. | | | definitely and | Jul 17, 2010 |

translators days were 48 hours long. Lots of clients and agencies seem to think so... | | | Amy Duncan (X) Brasil Local time: 17:08 portugués al inglés + ...
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. | | | Textklick Local time: 21:08 alemán al inglés + ... 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. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Poll: If the day had 25 hours, what would you do with the "extra" hour?
