Surprised at the results? The time distortion is because your layout is under the influence of a “fast clock”!


I'm surprised there were so many responses before someone responded with the real reason. Fast Clock. It hit me right away. It is not just for operating sessions any more. I like your idea of starting on Friday & working right thru to Tuesday. Monday is a yucky day in the real world anyhow. I'm fortunate that all my days are weekends now that I'm retired. Eat your heart out! The fast clock still runs not only when working on a layout but doing the RR thing on the web.

To me what works is little sleep!! I work fourty plus hours a week like so many of you...run some auctions on the bay...practice the drums...in an apartment no less !!! and still find at least 30 minutes a day or so to work on my layout...Oh and I forgot to mention my gilrfriend...she takes up a lot of my time too. I figured that it just boils down to good time management. But who realy sticks to it!!!
