The Shortened Day

How many days a week do you take it?

The Shortened Day

You are offered a pill that gives you one extra hour every day. You will not need to sleep during this hour. You will feel rested. But for every day you take the pill, your total lifespan is shortened by two days.

How many days a week do you take it?

Then ask

  • What project gets the extra hour?
  • Who are you trying to make time for?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
