For five minutes every year. It would make barely any difference to my life.

The other way around sounds great at first - you'd have tons of free time to do whatever you want, and you wouldn't age during that time. But nothing would function because time is frozen. No internet, no electricity for listening to records or watching a DVD. You could not in any meaningful way interact with your world. A year of this followed by five minutes of real time would surely drive anyone insane after a while.

If we're being really real, both ways kill you the first time you try them because your body would cease to function.

Second one is torture. Imagine to try to listen to a juicy gossip but have to wait one year for every 5 minute clip.

Bump it up to 10 minutes every year, so I can exclusively earn a living performing Louvre like heists.

Do I control when it happens, or does it just happen. For example in the second option, do I have to wait a frozen year EVERY five real minutes? Or, could I wait longer than 5 minutes if I choose to?

So I would take 1 year every 5 minutes especially with the whole can be delayed thing you have. Thing is. Does the earth have enough food to sustain me for the period and even if it does will there be mass starvation after a period because of all the food I consume and now that I think of it how big a sewage system is needed. I mean I could only use any particular toilet once.
