All the time in the world

If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?

I’d use that extra time to get all those things I’ve been putting off done. I’m that bad I could procrastinate about procrastination.

Firstly I’d finish my ever growing reading pile (currently 8-10 books) as there’s so many graphic novels that I need to start or just finish reading.

Secondly I’d use the time to get some more poetry written and edited, maybe start editing a book I’ve been writing for ten years, and nudge it over the finish line.

Finally I’d practice my chess game and try to improve on my ELO (standing) while taking regular breaks to watch all the box sets I’ve added to my list with the attitude of, I’ll get round to that when I’ve finished this one.

I’d also just go out and walk about at night while the world slumbers. It’s so peaceful and quiet, and not many people about.
