Characters are often pressed for time. Maybe they overbook themselves for a specific time period, or maybe they just have a very busy life in general, what with having the Wake Up, Go to School & Save the World all the time. Perhaps they have a deadline that is just physically impossible to meet in the allotted time. Well, not to worry: All they have to do is create more time, using Magic and Powers or Applied Phlebotinum. Favorite methods include Time Travel (But be careful, San Dimas Time stops for nobody,) Year Inside, Hour Outside, and Narnia Time, but there can also be other ways of accomplishing this. This is often a form of Mundane Utility. |

Done in Megamind. During some hero-villain banter with Megamind, Metro Man realizes that he has been doing the same thing for years. He uses his super speed to go out, think to himself, and read SEVERAL self-help books. All this time, he's moving so fast that time appears frozen to him. It's done to ridiculous extents, but it makes sense seeing as how it IS a parody. | |

A more "mundane" application than usual in Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney. In the game's world of Labyrinthia, magic is elaborately faked, and part of this trickery involves getting its effects to look instantaneous to observers. This is accomplished by the Shades ringing small silver bells to briefly dull the citizens' perception to the machines and props being implemented to create an instance of magic. It helps that Labyrinthia as a setting is a Medieval Stasis, preventing any citizen from getting an accurate measure of how much time has passed. | |

In Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, Bill and Ted exploit their time machine to get a few extra years' guitar practice in before the Battle of the Bands. This despite the previous film having explicitly established that this was impossible... Obviously, they finally figured out they could just call a date that used to be a few years earlier, which would now have also moved forward to the correct date after they spent those few years learning to actually play well. | |

This is the central plot of the Doctor Who Expanded Universe novel Borrowed Time, in which very busy people are given watches that allow them to literally borrow time so they can fit more things into the day. The problems come when they're expected to pay it back. With compound interest. | |

In the season 1 finale of Rick and Morty, Rick throws a massively destructive party while Beth and Jerry are away, ending up with them storming in the sidewalk to flip out at him. To avoid upsetting them, he freezes time, allowing him, Morty, and Summer to clean up the house before Beth and Jerry reach the front door. In the season 2 premier, it's revealed that they kept time frozen for several months, apparently just to relax. | |

In Calvin and Hobbes, Calvin travels two hours into the future to get his completed homework from his future self. Of course, it isn't done yet because two hours ago he went back in time to get it. The 6:30 Calvin and 8:30 Calvin then decide to gang up on the 7:30 Calvin and make him do the homework, but run into the same problem. In the midst of this Temporal Duplication, the 6:30 and 8:30 Hobbeses write about the mess the Calvins are getting into. Hobbes's story ends up getting an A+, though it does make Calvin look rightfully ridiculous. | |

In the Discworld novel Thief of Time, the title character can make time flow faster or slower for himself relative to the world around him. He regularly uses this ability for mundane everyday schedule management. Mr. Soak, the milkman, does this. Somehow, the milk is always on your doorstep at exactly 7 am. For everyone. Turns out Soak is actually Kaos, and can stop time as well. |

Dave uses time loops to orchestrate a Compound-Interest Time Travel Gambit over a matter of linear hours, then uses the same methods to rapidly breed frogs.

In the The Twilight Zone (1985) episode "A Little Peace and Quiet", a harried housewife finds a magic sundial that allows her to stop and restart time. She uses it to literally make time for herself, enjoying a peaceful breakfast or leisurely shopping for groceries while time is stopped for everyone else. Everything is perfect until nuclear war breaks out and she stops time while a missile is 10 feet above her head. She will have to choose between dying with everyone else and living her life forever trapped between two instants of time. | |

Averted in The Order of the Stick with Xykon; as a lich he has no need of sleep and thus plenty of extra time to further his schemes. But due to his world running on Dungeons & Dragons rules he can only spend 8 hours a day working on magic items, and needs to spend another 8 hours resting to regain his spell slots even though he has no biological need for it. This frustrates him, so he spends the extra time sadistically amusing himself with minions and prisoners. | |

The Pathfinder spell "Psychic Asylum" lets the caster spend fifteen minutes in a Mental World while only an instant passes in reality, during which time they have an infallible memory. It's also enough subjective time to prepare a fresh spell or wait out the duration of a mind-affecting spell. | |

In Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Edition, a common trick for powerful spellcasters is to create a Pocket Dimension where time flows much faster, so that they can teleport away from a challenging foe, rest and refresh their spells, research the optimal means of countering them, and reenter the fight at an advantage. | |

In an issue of Love and Capes, superhero (and accountant) Crusader forgets to do his own taxes until 11:30 p.m. on April 15. He has to have them finished and in the mail by midnight. Even using his super-speed powers, he is unable to finish them until 2 a.m. the next day. This is no problem, since he lives in the Eastern time zone; He just flies at super speed to the west coast, and mails his taxes in before midnight Pacific time. | |

Chronicles of Darkness: Changeling: The Lost: The merit "Brownie's Boon" lets a character speed through extended tasks, so long as they're not being watched, like the House Fey. They work twice as fast by default and can work at up to sixteen times the usual speed by spending Glamour. Mage: The Awakening: With Mind magic, characters can create parallel trains of thought to perform multiple mental actions (like research, composition, or reasoning) simultaneously. They can also shape their dreams to literally do the work in their sleep. Characters who travel to The Underworld and study directly from a ghost can benefit from the timeless, spiritual nature of the place, such as by spending the experience points instantly with no need for downtime to develop the new skill. |

Doctor Who uses this surprisingly infrequently: One notable exception is the episode "A Christmas Carol", in which the Doctor has roughly an hour to save a crashing space ship. His solution takes years to execute. A variation appears in "The Day of the Doctor", in which a centuries-long calculation to disintegrate a door with the sonic screwdriver is carried out instantly by having an earlier incarnation of the Doctor program it in and a later incarnation read out the result from a centuries-older version of the device. Then they realize the door was unlocked the whole time. The same technique is used on a larger scale to enable all the Doctor's incarnations working in concert to isolate Gallifrey from the timestream, removing it from the Time War without destroying it. |

The Rigel Black Chronicles: Harry is granted a Time Turner in her third year, just as Hermione was in canon. Being quite organised, she actually thrives with it, finding that she now has enough time for self-care (sleep, exercise, spending time with friends) as well as studying all her subjects. Until she realises that compressing time so much has caused her long-term Polyjuice Potion to wear off after just a few months (because it's been over a year in subjective time), and she has to abuse the Time Turner to the full in order to brew a new batch — which takes a month — in the few seconds before Professor Snape catches her out. | |

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Hermione Granger uses daily time travel to take more classes than would be otherwise possible. At the end she decides it's too much of a hassle and drops the extra subjects to have a more normal schedule. Specifically, Muggle Studies, which is useless as she's a muggle-born, and Divination, which is taught by a Professor who Hermione firmly believes a quack. | |

In Negima! Magister Negi Magi, Negi Springfield uses both the Time Travel and the Year Inside, Hour Outside solution: In order to be able to both do his school teaching duties and go through a special magic/combat training, Negi begins to use his mentor Evangeline's special resort located in a Pocket Dimension where one day is equivalent to one hour in our world. In the Mahora Festival arc, due to being a Nice Guy and unable to say "no" to his students, Negi ends up majorly overbooking his schedule. He is given a Time Travel device by Chao in order to allow him to meet all his commitments, time jumping three times on the first day alone. Of course, because this deprives him of sleep, he then also uses the aforementioned Evangeline's resort to be able to rest from all these activities...which was exactly what Chao expected him to do. |

Occasionally in Charmed (1998), where Piper's power to freeze time triggers when she's making an audition recipe for a restaurant job and the chef is about to taste it before she's finished, allowing her to add the special ingredient. It's however later established that using magic for personal gain will come with backfires, so she avoids actively doing it outside of demon battles. | |

Sabrina the Teenage Witch: One episode has Sabrina panicking before a test with a Sadist Teacher, so she magically freezes time in the hallway to check the textbook and calm down before the test. An episode of the college years has Sabrina spend too long at a party when she's supposed to be doing assignments, and she sleeps in. Rather than conjuring up a finished paper, she instead casts a spell that gives her Super-Speed so that she can do the work in an instant. This backfires when it turns out she sucked the extra time out of her housemates, who move in slow motion until she can reverse the spell. |

The Dragonriders of Pern books have several examples of people using their dragons' time-jumping ability to do this. Jaxom does it a few times throughout The White Dragon, mostly for relatively trivial reasons. In Moreta, Dragonlady of Pern, Moreta does it repeatedly, to the point of exhaustion and eventual death, to deliver a plague cure to everyone who needs it. In All The Skies Of Pern, pretty much every dragon-rider does it after a meteorite causes a massive tidal wave threatens all of the coastal regions: they time-jump to hours before the event to begin the evacuations. It works: they lose a lot of infrastructure but practically no people. |
