Solutions to the lack of Time and Inspiration

Ok guys, I've previously mentioned my fascination for this fantastic invention called The Internet. But this is just unbelievable! It just gets more and more amazing! Listen here: After Hanne posted a quest for Inspiration, Words and More Time on her blog yesterday, Marjaana reminded us we could always try The Internet again. Which I did. The results are just mind-blowing.

First, after trying a search on 'Recipe for Inspiration' I found exactly that (!). Again: lo and behold! Here it's how it works:

in the depths of your mind are thoughts profound,
In quiet reflection they are to be found,
then with a sharp thorn, pierce your heart deep
take the blood and agony and tears you weep,
when you have all these together,
dip in a quill, of a dove's white feather,
then let your words on paper flow,
immortal, making hearts and minds glow.

Just like that: 'Quiet reflection', piercing of heart, dipping of quill in blood and agony, and voilá!

But this is not nearly as fantastic as result number two. Amazingly enough, a google search for "an invention that would make the day last for 48 instead of 24 hours" (quote Hanne) provided us with a solution for the time problem too! Haleluja and amen! No need to panic!

The trick is to switch to Flowtime. This is a new system with 100 minutes per hour instead of 60. Likewise, every minute will now consist of 100 seconds. Unfortunately, the number of hours per day will still be the same. But hey, why worry about that when you in fact will get a hell of alot more minutes! Quote:

when you switch to flowtime, you will almost immediately become more productive. The reason is quite simple. You have more minutes at your disposal. Let's say you have a group of tasks to do, like making three phone calls and writing two letters. Under regular time, you might give yourself 45 minutes to do these five tasks. Under flowtime, you have 75 minutes to work with. So you can allocate 20 minutes to the phone calls and 40 minutes to the letters, giving you a total of 60 flowtime minutes. You've saved 15 flowtime minutes, which is the same as 9 regular time minutes. Of course, the duration of 45 regular time minutes is the same as the duration of 75 flowtime minutes, but psychologically you will work faster if you compress the amount of time you allow yourself to do a project. Flowtime allows you to compress time because you have 100 minutes to work with while previously you had only 60.

This means that while it is now 72 hours till our exam deadline, switching to flowtime would give us 7200 minutes for finishing up instead of only 4320! True, this didn't help us double the day from 24 to 48 hours, but still... such a huge addition of minutes is clearly a step in the right direction!
