Hello Hive friends and readers. I sit here today wondering how I wish I had more time to accomplish many more things. Most days to me start as quick as they end. We sometimes do things that don't allow us to multitask to save time.
I work a full-time job and have a part-time job. I'm a bread winner and the only working person in my household. I cook and clean in the household because my wife is disabled. I'm also the only one who can drive in the household. I'm a basketball dad to my son who plays year around. Also I'm a blogger here and on another website.
What if we could stop time
I think about this from time to time. I like the idea to receive a power from above where I could stop time by just saying, "Stop." Maybe a simple word such as go to continue time. My mind is foggy but I think I remember watching an Alfred Hitchcock movie or show where the character had a device to stop time. When he used it everything and everyone was frozen still.
The things we can do
There are endless thoughts on what I could use it for. One of the first thoughts is to catch up on sleep. Though I don't think I would use it when I'm actually sleeping. Maybe pause doing some choirs and such than take a power nap afterwards. I could see myself napping alongside my English Bull Dog, haha.
Another thing is to get somewhere on time. How many times are we in a hurry to get somewhere? Imagine just taking your time to get ready and driving somewhere with no worries.
Perhaps on the job to meet a deadline. No more crunch time and the boss hounding you for something. You could easily have the best productivity and not worry about other distractions. Have to be a little careful your not getting paid when the time is paused and how much do you really want to spend at work 😂
Imagine using it to save yourself or someone else from being in harms away. We could all be heroes. One would have to be careful to not freak someone out though. If your a robber with a gun I applaud the idea of them wondering where the hell did the gun go, hehe. Maybe a couple of slaps across the face as well.
Things of caution
As much as it would seem to be great to have these powers there is the possibility of some evils and some physical changes that may happen. I'm going to sound like Uncle Ben from Spiderman for second. With great power comes great responsibility. Yes I believe if we obtained this power we have a duty to act morally.
So stopping at the bank to make a withdrawal of money that is not yours is a no. Don't think that trading your vehicle in for free is acceptable either. Also causing hectic situations or afflicting harm to others should absolutely not be considered.
Physical changes can happen if abused. Think about it, if you stop time too much your getting oldier while everything else is freezed in time. One would have to use it sparingly. Who wants to look 40 when your 30? Can you imagine your friends thinking that you have aged abnormally quick? I wouldn't want any of that.
After thoughts
It would be an awesome power to pocess if used correctly. My mind has many more advantages to use this for:) One would need to have discipline though. There are many more evils that this power could be misused for. How about you, what would you use this power to do?
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read another article from me. Be safe, take care, and use your time wisely. I love you all ❤️
All photos are mine and screenshot is from my phone's stop watch.
If I had to believe in reincarnation I'd want to come back as either your bulldog or my cocker spaniel. Both know exactly how to slow/stop time. On a serious note, love your post - always great to slow down, appreciate our limited time and make the best use of it. Take care @coolmidwestguy
Thank you. If you came back as my bull dog you would be living a life of royalty. We can all attempt to slow down time but not stop it. The best way is like you said make good use of it. Thanks for stopping by..

I'm a breadwinner too and I also wished to stop time.. When it happens, I just want to rest and won't do anything.. I'm exhausted in life but have no choice but to continue....
I feel that to Jane. There always that feeling that there's not enough time. I'm sure your overwhelmed right now with moving among other things.
Watson doesn't need to stop the time, it's all right 😂🙌
And you maybe yes, but I also imagine that and it's true what you say many responsibilities, always there is something in return... not sure. The worst thing is that today we had to change the hour, we lost one hour, a 23 hours Sunday it's worst than stopping time!!!
Happy Sunday my friend!
Yes Watson doesn't need any more time, lol. Oh I thought we were the only ones that moved the clocks. Yes that is the worse we sprung the clocks ahead recently as well. I always like moving them back in fall.
In many countries we move the clocks, although in Europe there was a discussion about to stop that "habit" so maybe in 2026 but who knows what and who decide that.
I did not realize that I guess. So many people I chat with are always like what is that moving the clocks, haha. I guess I talk to a lot of people to the western hemisphere
I think stopping time and having a good snooze with Watson would be an awesome use of a superpower! 😍😂 if I could stop time I think I would just sit and ‘be’ in nature. Recharge my batteries!
I'm a light sleeper though his snoring might not allow me to fall asleep though. Plus hard floor might be hard to get up from 🤣😂🤣
Yes re-charging would be good use of time. Only negative there would be no noise, wind, and other things due to things being frozen.
As a breadwinner like you, there are a lot of chances where I wish that time could stop for a while.And if I get this chance, i will use it just to relax, sleep and unwind. But of course, in reality, despite the fact that I am tired and exhausted everyday, I have no choice but to continue. 😊🤗
Same friend, we must continue on regardless of our use or lack of time.
Stopping time is a nice superpower. I think I would want that too for personal reasons.
If that involves saving the world, that’s kinda hard to do. 😁
Saving the world yes would be difficult no matter what super power you have. The end of that Alfred Hitchcock show/movie the character paused time as a missile was about to hit his city. Imagine that not being able to start time up again. Being alone as time stood still. I guess every power would come with things you can't prevent. Thanks for stopping by :)
