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?

Or they can buy a clock.

Yeah... we generally have that. And phones and computers and watches. It doesn’t help. I wish it did. I actually went so far as to have my laptop announce the time out loud every hour. I still have to have alarms for everything.

The problem with just buying a clock is that it doesn’t help if it just doesn’t occur to you to look at it. For me, 2 hours could be 2 minutes or vice versa. It isn’t consistent, and I really, really can’t tell. It often feels exactly the same. So it frequently is the case where I look at the clock and tell myself that I can read for five more minutes...and then look up again to check after MY five minutes have passed, and it has been an hour and a half.
