• Fix my problems.

  Today, it’s all about fixing problems. 

  Question:  If you invented a device that could fix one problem you are facing right now, would you use it?   What problem would you like to solve.

  Answer:  I would invent a time-freeze machine.  It seems like the biggest problem I have right now is not enough time to get everything done I’d like to.  I’d love to work out longer in the mornings, but I need to get to work as well.  And I could get up earlier, but I’m already up late getting things done that I couldn’t do during work.  Frankly, I know everyone out there would like to petition God for a few more hours in the day, because honestly, twenty-four just aren’t cutting it.

  But then, I think, would I really use it?  If I did, would I be just as busy as I am now, only with more things to do, because I’d have more time to fit more crap into the day?  Would this time-freeze machine really solve any of my problems?  Or is my problem more that I’m trying to do too much and any other sane, rational person would realize just that and maybe, perhaps, you know…cut back on the activities?

  So…while a time-freeze machine would be beneficial for the occasional use, it’s definitely not for an everyday type thing.  I could see myself filling more and more hours with crap that should get done…and probably a healthy amount of procrastination as well.  Better to use it for things that really matter…like stopping time to run into the street and save that baby just sitting in the middle of the road, in front of a bus. 

  What device would you invent?  Would you use it?
