What I Would Do If I Had 1 Hour Less Each Day

An inversion of the post by @apkussma.

One less hour per day equates to 7 lost hours per week, a little over one day a month, or about 15 days per year.

    1. I Wouldn’t Sleep in as Much

    0

    I would also be incentivized to go to sleep at least one hour earlier.

    2. I Would Have Much More Pressure to Do the Things I’ve Been Putting Off

    0

    This applies moreso to anything with a hard deadline.

    3. Mindless Web Browsing Would Be a Little Less Appealing

    0

    I may be a little too addicted to eliminate it entirely.

    4. I Would Have to Manage the Time I Have Left Better

    0

    Optimize and eliminate useless activities that don't serve me or the people around me.

    5. Organize My Life to Reduce or Eliminate Commuting as Much as Possible

    0

    Commuting between places is already a huge waste of time under the previous 24 hour paradigm.

    6. Worry More About the Future

    0

    I have less time to prepare for it.

    7. Value Moments of Boredom More

    0

    At least for a brief time, I wouldn't feel rushed.

While though provoking, your list gave me flashbacks. For a few years I worked on ships doing a regular transatlantic run. Instead of keeping ship time the same our skipper tried to keep pace with "local time".
What that looks like in practice is that on on our "outbound" easterly journeys we were setting the clocks forward one hour almost every night. You know how adjusting for daylight savings throws you off every six months. Try doing it every day for a week and half or so.

Excuse the rambling. Just thought I'd share the story.

I can only imagine how disorienting having to adjust your time like that for over a week is. That's wild!
