I am glad that my article has helped you in that way. The losing readers post was the best. Don't we all wish we had more hours in the day (and night).

Oh, I would definitely be able to spend my time on doing more diverse things than I do now, and of course spend more time on same stuff that occupies my usual day. Hi Stelian. Of course with the longer day we'll still get tired, but then we we'll have plenty of hours to take naps, wouldn't we? ;-) 36 hours with no sleep that's not too bad. For the entire first week when my daughter was born, I had only about ten hours of sleep. Don't ask me how I did it - I don't know, I had no choice. But it's just a proof that there are many things we don't know about the human nature. I agree, we can't plan how many hours we'll spend on blogging, at least it's not always possible to do so. Peter, I thought you <em>love</em> coding?! ;-) [j/k] But I agree, it would definitely be nice to be able to spend more time with friends and family. Madhur, with 48 hours you could probably strike a perfect balance between the college, blogging and even some freelancing on the side ;-) Johno, where did you get that #14 from?! haha - no, I'm not there yet :-) How I do it? I don't, I struggle. I have to sacrifice with something - i'm not a perfect housewife - I don't clean my house every day, I don't cook every day (thanks to my husband), my clients have to wait a bit longer for me to complete their projects, and my family is forced to be happy to share evenings with me sitting with the laptop, dividing my attention from staring at the screen and responding to them. My daughter though is learning how to get my attention fast - she comes to me, grabs and says, "Mama, it's me, look at me, I'm here, mama - hug". Who could resist such a request from a cute sweet not even 3-year-old girl? But then, that's why it often takes me 2-3 days to complete a post for Inspiration Bit - for every 10 min I spend writing, I switch to playing with my daughter, or talking to my husband. Btw, Ronald won the 1st place and $100 for his Absolute Guide to Losing Readers - so happy for him! oh, and Tibi won too! Simonne, isn’t that true - we humans always need more than we have?

I blog and read other blogs because I love it. I also read the blogs of others as a way of staying in touch. For example, we've never met in person, but we've chatted in the comments here and elsewhere; and in time a blog that one visits regularly starts to feel rather comfortable; and interaction with the author would, owing to geographical location, be otherwise impossible. So, what would I do with more hours in the day? Um, read more books, study more, blog more and start a family (not necessarily in that order). In fact, I have no idea how you do it, Vivien. You have a family and 14 different jobs; you've just moved house, and yet you still grace us with these intriguing posts. Thank you. BTW, that Absolute Guide to Losing Readers is brilliant!

You would still get tired at some point and have to go to sleep. If you need a longer day, all you need to do is stay up all night. From what I can remember from the last time I did that (I was awake and active for about 36 hours straight) I don't want to repeat the experience. Assuming I wouldn't get tired, I would probably do the same things that I do everyday. The only difference being that I'll have more time to do whatever I enjoy doing. Regarding blogging I definitely don't have a timesheet. I blog because I have something to do and I read blogs because I like to. If I start planning those things, what kind of a pleasure would it be? Having a longer day doesn’t really mean you can do a lot more things.
