There are simply not enough hours in the day to do everything I want to do right now. Or maybe there aren’t enough of me.

But in fiction at least, the lack of me can be solved. David Brin hit on a good idea in Kiln People, about a society that is able to make duplicates of themselves that last for only a day. Your memories and skills are imprinted on the double and at the end of the day, after it’s gone out to do your work or attend events you don’t have time for, you download its memories into your own brain. Bam, two days of productivity for the price of one.

I think I need a half dozen kiln people.
