Things I would do with Bernard's watch!

Bernard's Watch is a late ninties/early noughties children's programme. The basic premise is that of a young boy who owns a watch which can be used to stop time! 

As far as I'm concerned, that watch was wasted on Bernard!! It would have been far better placed with me! There's a lot that I could have done with it, but I've managed to narrow it down!

1. I'd always get a good night's sleep, wake up naturally and have the time for a nice long shower (or maybe a bath, if that's what I happened to feel like!) and leisurely breakfast! This would result in my being a lot healthier, and a lot more productive. 
2. I would never miss a good photo opportunity again! No more rushing for the camera.
3. I could queue jump with ease! I'd be concerned that people would notice me appearing out of nowhere, but as that never seemed to be a problem for Bernard I'm sure it'd be a non-issue for me, too! This would be especially useful at Alton Towers.
4. My criminal career would be able to take off with no risk! It would be in some ways limited. In fact, largely to shoplifting. But that would be a massive improvement(?) on my current level of illegal activity.
5. I'd never be late for anything! I could just pause time five minutes before I needed to be anywhere... I could avoid traffic jams as well, by pausing time and going down the hard shoulder. I could really make the most out of a long weekend away in this way!

Obviously these things are incredibly frivolous and selfish. But you know... I think I could make my peace with that if only I could get my hands on that watch!

Coming up with the things that I'd do if I could pause time got me thinking. There isn't enough time in the day. Everyone's always after a few extra hours in the day, and I think that that is what's really attractive about the ability to stop time is that it would give you a few extra hours.

I'm going to try and prioritise a bit better (at least for the time being). Maybe if I can get important stuff done, I'll be able to find more time to go and do fun things, like trips to the park with Maia!
