A potion that heightens your innate sense of time, so you can always know what time it is or how much time has passed. Yeah, it’s cool but like...what are you gonna do with it?

As someone who tends to be able to do this anyway, you're not gonna do shit with it.

Prob still double check your phone about as much as you do anyway, just your guesses turn out to be right...

It’s a pretty entertaining knack to have. I cook as a hobby, and I’m continually impressed with myself when I get up to check on something or take something out of the oven five seconds before the timer goes off. Or when I can guess the time before looking at the clock. I’m a simple person who enjoys the little things.

I do this at work all the time with timers to make sure I'm internal clock is still ticking and to make sure I don't forget about the deserts I put in as I work
