pre-existing invention? or brand-new fantasy type?
for pre-existing i'd go for internal combustion engine and strap it to a penny-farthing.
for brand-new fantasy type probably a 10yd skip that fills itself. that would save me a whole bunch of time and effort tomorrow.

i hadn't really thought it through
I like to imagine the skip has big robot arms to pick stuff up and put it in.

If it has, you are clearly having a steampunk day

wait!
now it sounds like a cartoon - there should be lots of slapstick mishaps going on while you nap

Yeah, monkies in boiler suits and flat caps.
Chickens running all over the place, fat policemen chasing dogs that have just stolen strings if sausages etc.
And all while I snooze...
