The marketing folks here are conducting some in-house focus groups in preparation for a branding campaign. They're trying to figure out what people think about our products and what they expect from us. They decided to start on the inside -- asking us for our opinions on a variety of topics and subjects related to our products. At the end of the discussion they posed an interesting question that I now steal and pose to you.

"If you had 30 extra minutes in a day, what would you do with it?"

My answer, initially, was to spend it doing something fun with my kids. Then, I changed my mind and said I'd love to have time to actually spend or talk to my husband. I spend a lot of time doing things with the kids, what I'd really love is some time to spend with my husband. I'd love to play cards or go for a walk or just hang out and talk. But, every weeknight (and weekend) is a race to get the household chores done, the kids fed, bathed and in bed. By the time we are done with all of our own responsibilities, we fall on the couch at 10 p.m. and go mute. I don't feel like talking -- or doing anything more strenuous than reading mail, leafing through a magazine or falling asleep in front of the TV.
