When was the last time you treated yourself to a day trip? Ok. Now when was the last time you treated yourself to a day trip that you actually enjoyed? Maybe you do it often. Or maybe you’ve done the same thing that I’ve done to myself over and over again, and robbed yourself of much deserved leisure time with some type of occupational justification.
I get it! Sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in a day to accommodate your growing arsenal of interests and talents. However, leisure time is important. We have to give our mind and body the rest it needs to continue functioning at optimal levels. You’re no good to any team , family member, or friend if you’re constantly walking around stressed out and fatigued due to the fact that you’re putting in 16 hour days to support your budding financial/personal endeavors. I find it incredibly important to at least make an attempt at finding a healthy balance between time dedicated to work vs time spent on leisure. As cliche as it may sound… Life is in fact incredibly short. Too short if you ask me. I doubt anyone has yet to use their last breath in utterance of “I should have worked more” before finally parting with their death bed.
The new year always seems to bring a rush of motivation out of hibernation for me personally. Almost every year as soon as January hits the calendar I feel a sudden influx of creativity and focus. So much so that it can be a battle at times to find a clear channel in which to funnel my efforts. I decided to approach the new year a little differently this go round and focus on not letting my wave of creativity and focus go to waste. While at the same time, making time for the people and things that matter most to me.
Yesterday was my birthday!! And quite honestly probably one of the best that I’ve had in an incredibly long time. I watched a heart dissection performed in front of me live, I had some electricity pumped through my skeletal system, I watched a volcano erupt, I climbed through the neural pathway of a human brain, and still made it home in time to cash in on a booming day in the crypto world! Oh! I nearly forgot… I also got my hands on a piece of tech that, honest to God is changing the world. More about that soon though. Be on the lookout for my brand new YouTube channel where you can watch me unbox this item with your own two eyes. Or don’t… your loss. If you somehow think that I’m blowing smoke, or just trying to sound interesting… I’m not mad at you. It just means you need to stick around a little while longer and get to know me.
If you’re wondering where you have to go or how much you have to spend to experience a day like the one I experienced yesterday, I’ll break it down for you real quick. We live in a hyper connected society! Before you walk out of your house in the morning you can essentially plan every moment of your day , check your route, analyze reviews on the places your going, find promotional events in your area, AND look for ways to save your hard earned money! My better half has more talent than I do in that department. And it’s thanks to her that we had a smooth educational and enjoyable day.
To experience all of these mind blowing activities it was as simple as a planned day trip to the Franklin Institute. Now I’ll admit, I haven’t been there since I was in the 5th grade, and I didn’t know exactly how much I’d enjoy myself while possibly surrounded by hordes of rambunctious children touching everything and everyone around them. The answer to that was simple enough however, and I’ll offer my advice to any of my readers who may be interested in attending events like the one we enjoyed. If there’s the possibility of large groups of school children being present and you prefer a quiet atmosphere, choose your timing wisely. I’d recommend the 1:30 – 2:30pm ball park. During the school year you can expect the bulk of young bodies to be in the process of being herded onto the same buses that dropped them off earlier that morning right around this time. Then you can relax! It was virtually silent after the bright young minds departed and I was able to enjoy the full experience. If cost is your concern, well there’s actually a wide range of options and tactics for getting the most out of your trip while on a budget. Put your device to good use and do some homework to pinpoint some cost reducing options. We spent maybe a whole $50 usd and covered our entire day. That’s ; parking, admission, beverages, an imax movie, gas, tolls, and one sticker valued at $2.97. I think we did pretty good! One of the key take aways from today’s post is this… Never stop satisfying your hunger for knowledge, always support your creative side, and make time for yourself and those whom you love and appreciate. My new YouTube channel is launching any moment now. If you’re interested in seeing something like… idk a heart dissection performed in public, well be on the look out for my channel ” the Crypto Corner ” staring yours truly. There I’ll post videos covering a wide range of topics and a wide range of personalities while also giving away Bitcoin and some of the latest and greatest Tech related merchandise.
Thanks for reading and don’t forget to subscribe. Once a month I’m giving away $10 in Bitcoin to one random new subscriber so don’t miss out! Let’s make the world a better place! One last thing before I close… If you’re wondering “why Bitcoin?” , take a look at cryptocurrency market for the past two days and find out! See ya next time!
