Something else you can have put on your tombstone. I never read books, especially when I was eating food I bought at the local gas station.

Expanding on EB's idea, I turn my clock back two hours daily. It's amazing what you can accomplish with the extra time. I get up at 8 AM, turn back my clocks, and two hours later, it's still 8 AM. I use the extra time for reading, writing, and catching up with the world.
I'm working on a new, better way to tell time. One that is based around meals. Instead of using a clock to tell when to eat, I want to use meals to tell me the time.

That would be a ridiculous idea, you obviously have no idea what I'm doing.

It's the best thing I've done. Allow me to give you an example.
I woke up today at 8:04. I Checked some auctions I have running, glanced at the sports updates, and watched two episodes of Wolf Pack. By the time I finished breakfast, it would have been ten thirty, and I'd have accomplished nothing. By turning the clock back two hours, I could get in a quick workout, a nice long shower, give my yard a once over after yesterday's dust devils, and get in two hours of study. All before noon.
The best part is my friends start their Happy Hour at 5 PM while mine starts at 3 O'clock. When I get home, I move the clock ahead two hours and have a late dinner. The trick is to count every day as a single session.
If changing my clock twice a year is a good idea, changing it daily is genius.

It is not unusual for me to read five books on a weeks vacation.

I probably read 8 to 10 hours a day when on vacation. My vacations consist of sitting on a beach chair while people bring me drinks and food. I spend at least 6-8 hours on the beach every day.

Drink one pint of water for every time zone crossed on the day you travel, and reduce the extra water by a pint a day. That's for a tourist, not someone who regularly does the NY-Rome flight.
