I would concoct no plans for this power; I'd just use it on whatever the heck I felt like. Kind of like the Slow Time shout in Skyrim, where I can turn everything but me into molasses on a whim and instantly wrest command of the scenario so I can wreck things at a casual pace.

The only spot where I get guaranteed parking is halfway across campus from my classes, and I usually park with only a handful of time to spare before class starts, so I guess I'd use that power a lot in the mornings.

Also: instant exercising. Drop the flow of time and just do some push-ups on the spot while I'm out and about and have a minute to spare. That way I can get exercise within the first second, and use the rest of the minute to catch my breath. Or just walk off and get a feel for my surroundings before coming back to the spot I'm supposed to be.

With great power comes trivial use.

Prediction: Half the answers will be men peepin'.

OT: I'd just go around my school taking a baseball bat to people I don't like. After that, fuck with people. I'm sure I could think of a million things I could do with the power, I just don't want to list them all off.
So I guess I'm the other 50%: Dudes not throwing away an awesome ability on peeping.

So yeah, I would stop time in order to give me extra time to figure things out (i.e. If I need to pause on an idea that I am working on for research, I would stop time and take all the time I would need).

The second would be to improve my reflexes. I would be able to practice my timing and movements by stopping time to prevent myself from getting hurt, and to restart time in order to get the movement right or angle myself accordingly.

The third option was to be a ghastly vigilante during hostage situations or standoffs. I would disguise myself as an ominous figure, stop time during these critical moments, and diffuse the situation without anyone getting hurt. If they are able to capture my image, they will see my disguise and think that it is a supernatural matter and will not try to press on their investigation.

I would use it to help me make cartoons. One cartoon per week or day will no longer be a problem (Unless I get lazy, like I am right now).

And here is where I'm glad that humans aren't given superpowers. There would be theft, sexual harassment and groin-kickings all over the damn place.

I feel as though I'm not being too inventive with this, but, sleep was the first thing that hit my mind.

Probably also use it as time to develop skills, like drawing for example.

I changed my mind, I'd become a God.

I considered and read before the cracked article about the guy stuck in a time loop (it was just one entry) but anyway, he relived the same day (or something like that) for an incredibly long time,
So basically the entry was describing the plot of Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray?

OT: Time for shenanigans!

Aside from pulling the occasional(or more than occasional) prank on people I'd probably stick to using it for practical things like never being late for work or getting extra time to work on stuff.

Been watching Bernard Watch eh?

Well instead of helping people and his family just like Bernard did I probably end up stealing from various places and people which Bernard couldn't do (there were rules to having that watch).

Suffice it to say I'm the last person anyone would want to get that kind of ability.
Short answer: watch the world burn.

I'd have a lot of fun walking into places I don't belong and planting cameras there. After all, time dilation of that magnitude would make it impossible for cameras or people to see me beyond perhaps a blur. I'd become the worlds best investigative journalist. After all, I've always wondered what is said behind closed doors at G7 meetings and I'm pretty sure it's quite interesting.

Just realized the first sentence sounds quite creepy. Fooled ya didn't I?

I'd order a pizza then freeze time and set the clocks forward by 31 minutes.

Free pizza!
Then pizza guy chuckles and says that not even Dominoes does that anymore, that'll be 10.80 please.

Considering you don't AGE while using the watch which is my biggest gripe with this, I'd use the watch to sleep and solve program algorithms in my head then just resume time and note down the stuff, so I could just work from home take a few minutes doing what would take hours and have the whole day free, instead of working for home being working without pants.
Someone pinch me, I never see people with my thought process on these things.

I'd fucking sleep with time slowed down like this, effectively giving me all of my time alive as time awake, I'd love that. I'd also use it if I needed to crunch something out quickly and there would be no other way to get the task done.

i would commit petty thievery on the streets, and perhaps just use the rest of this time to have a decent nights sleep in much less time. so effectively, i just have a lot more time to dedicate to whatever i want, which would be pretty cool.

Put a blanket over me and grab some games from the nearest gamestore. Blanket is in case they have a really good security camera.

Awww , i thought time actually froze, if it doesn't that means i can get caught doing crimes. I have thought about this A LOT , but your rules stop me from being the best criminal ever .

OT: i'd most likely just rob random passer by's on the street , seems like the safest bet since i could still be caught on video i guess . So robing banks and murdering my enemies is a big no no ( which i would do if i could completly stop time ).
I don't think there's a security cam in existence with that kind of framerate. Even then, a disguise would work well enough. No one could act to stop you, and you could ditch the evidence miles away and have a rock-solid alibi (I was in Vegas, I swear!).

To be honest, I'd probably buy a mask, equip a hoodie then go dancing randomly around the world in front of people then run off somewhere, pull out a camera and film their reaction as they go wtf was that? at the strange thing that was momentarily in their vision.
Then maybe do some stuff that I never have time to do and all the other obligatory things you do when time is frozen.

Edit: Meh I'm already part ninja. This would just make me more badass.

Just crime. Break and enter, thievery, sexual harassment of everyone. But I'd also be the greatest ghost ever and follow around one of those tv shows

Spending an entire pocket infinity procrastinating on promised content? I think I have a company you can work for. Hint: it starts with V and ends with alve.

I would love to work at V-to-the-alve. Sadly, I'm no good at math or 3D modeling, so unless they start a cartoon company using Source Filmmaker, they wouldn't hire me.
