There's really no benefit to glorifying "busy."

With the amount of technology and automation we have, and how productive we have become, we should be heading towards 4 day weeks, and month long vacations.

No shame in taking a break at all here. Also, work to live, don't live to work; or you'll miss out on everything important.


We just need to get more businesses to accept it. If Amazon accepted Bitcoin, HELLO BUBBLE 2!


You're probably not a good candidate for day trading.

Do you have Montessori schools near where you live? Look into those... =)


Actually, I went to a Montessori school from kindergarten through 3rd grade. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4459226

Summary: There were 60+ kids and only two teachers. The kids were allowed to do whatever they wanted all day. About the only thing I learned is how to forge the signature of my assistant teacher. And some kid hit me with a metal shovel and wasn't given more than a stern talking to about why hitting people with shovels is a bad thing.

I may have just gotten unlucky in attending a particularly bad Montessori school, however.

Great blog post... but the grammatical errors were a huge distraction.


The web has always had different screen sizes and very different capabilities of machines. Heck, having to code for IE6 should trump any difficulties faced in mobile.
