Iremember from my childhood trip that it was going to be amazing and interesting. Me, my sister and my parents went to St. Louis, MO for a summer trip. We had to get ready early in the morning to put our luggage in the family car to cruise along the highway. It took about four hours to travel through a lot of towns and cities to arrive at the hotel. I had some thoughts about vacation what would it look like and what kinds of places would be fun with my family. One of the memories that I have experienced was this amusement park called Six Flags. My reasons for this childhood vacation have some deep significance to me and it was having a good quality time with my family.My favorite part about this trip was going to Six Flags with my sister and my parents. Six Flags was a great amusement park to have a lot of fun for the whole family. There were so many kids and scary rides that really amazed me and some of them just seemed crazy. One of the rides that I did not want to get on was the roller coaster. My reasons for roller coaster can be scary and too high to the sky that it can cause me to get nervous. The amazing part about Six Flags is that it has some fun things and the good foods that I enjoyed with my sister. I had a good experience with this attraction and it was to see the rides that seemed to be interesting and to have fun with these different rides. Save your time!

The whole family went into this museum that has so many types of things such as an aquarium and a kid's place. We went to the St. Louis Zoo to see all the animals and look at statues of people for some entertainment. Many of these attractions have some amazing fossils and statues of a person, creatures, or other things. I was looking around the city to see the good places that made me want to have a good time for this vacation. It just makes me want to feel that I could come back to this trip to recover all the childhood memories. I did not come back to this town to see any difference that I could remember at that time.In conclusion, my childhood trip had some deep significance that influenced my life. It just took me back in time that it was going to be an exciting vacation. Me and my family had some good and fun times with the experience of Six Flags. We also explored the whole city to see any fun attractions that can be entertaining for everyone. This was a good impact of my childhood vacation and I had a wonderful time with my family. It has been a fun memory for me that I could go back right now, but I did not go back to St. Louis, MO. The reason for this experience is that I could say that it was the best time of my life.

So I made a change: I would no longer chase short-term things to try to earn the right to do the thing I wanted to do. I would just do the thing, for me, writing, and assume that if I fully committed to it then it would work out eventually.


But as I went down this path and kept recommitting to it, I realized there was a deeper problem. Work Escapism was a symptom of my relationship with time, and they were feeding off of each other in an anxiety-inducing doom loop.


That mentality is standard in the Western world, but the get-rich-quick memescape pours gas on the fire by suggesting that with the proper tweaks to your usage of time, along with the right amount of opportunism, you can get a 10 or 20 or 100x use of your time compared to normies. And so we end up with a deluge of productivity books, videos, and influencers, promising to help you optimize your time-investing like temporal financial advisors.


We are deeply afraid that we have wasted some of our precious units of life, or that we might waste them in the future, so we construct myriad apparatuses to protect us from such failures. Or, at least, to convince ourselves that we have not failed. If you can look back on the year and point to the many things you Achieved or Did or Instagrammed then you can let out a deep sigh of relief that you did not waste it. The year is gone, but you get a gold star for how you spent it.


As long as you see time as something to be Spent Well or Wasted, you are trapped in continual self-evaluations of your time. You are scoring your minutes and hours and days and levying judgements on them, with that quiet hum of assessment always running in the background.


The more we focus on these bookmarks though, the more we are stuck living ad interim. We judge moments as either a significant bookmark in time, or a means to some future bookmark. Most of our time is judged as a period that must be passed through until we reach the bookmark, or a period that must be spent to earn the next bookmark. Waiting and working.


If I interrupted that joy to create bookmarks out of some slavish obligation to my future self, I would be doing both of us a great disservice. I would be interrupting my enjoyment of these beautiful moments by chasing Bigger and Better ones. And I would be condemning my future self to continue the grind of bookmark chasing.


Thank you for reading! If you enjoyed this, you will love hearing the insane, manic, financial thriller backstory that eventually led me to this frame of mind in Crypto Confidential. I also have more info on the book here.


Before you dive in, a reminder that my book Crypto Confidential comes out on July 9th. Pre-ordering it is the best way to support my writing, since week-one sales (which pre-orders count towards) are extremely important to the book\u2019s success.


\u201CMy only crypto take is that if you don't find some of it inspiring, you're not paying attention, and if you don't find a lot of it absurd, you're not paying attention. Nat Eliason brilliantly captures both ends in Crypto Confidential. Every investor should read this book.\u201D


\u201CMountains should be climbed with as little effort as possible, and without desire. The reality of your own nature should determine the speed. If you become restless, speed up. If you become winded, slow down. You climb the mountain in an equilibrium between restlessness and exhaustion.\u201D - Robert Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance


A year and a half ago, I wrote one of my better pieces: When the Money\u2019s Too Damn Good. It was a reflection on how severely the quick-wins of working in crypto had warped my relationship with money, time, and work, and for myself it was a commitment to not fall back into that pattern.


I have a complicated relationship with this mentality because, on the one hand, it afforded me the life I have now. One that I\u2019m very grateful for. But on the other hand, it created an adversarial stance towards work. A stance that\u2019s codified in the myth of \u201Cwork life balance.\u201D


\u201CThe irony of man's condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it, and so we must shrink from being fully alive.\u201D - Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death


It\u2019s a new symptom of the Denial of Death. Our lack of control over our own mortality is terrifying, so we\u2019ll scrape our fingernails along the ledge for anything we can grab onto to as a temporary refuge from facing the abyss. Sometimes it\u2019s building pyramids, sometimes it\u2019s penis botox. The manifestations of your terror may vary.


The Productivity mentality says the same thing, suggesting that you can get more Work done in less Time so that you have more leftover for Life. Or, if we\u2019re being honest, typically more work. A race where the prize is more racing.


This attitude towards time as a resource to be optimized is so embedded in our psyche that it\u2019s almost hard to see it. It feels like a law, like gravity, when in reality it\u2019s more like a custom we\u2019ve adopted. And that attitude is what drives the trophy-case style of annual reviews where you show off everything you achieved in the past year, along with your plans for the next year, hint at the same anxiety.
