BTCMeansFreedom4All on Nostr: Having a low time preference means not beating yourself up over things you need to do ...
Having a low time preference means not beating yourself up over things you need to do but haven't yet done.
I haven't needed to work a traditional job in nearly a year, but I would still feel stressed and self judgemental that I was not doing enough each day even though I was doing stuff such as writing/research/editing or housework or meal prep or working out all the time and so on. My girlfriend said I need my boss (myself) to loosen their leash and allow me to slow down and relax. I was still living in high time preference mode, and I wanted to shift to low time preference.
Recently I've put that a lot more into practice, I don't wear a watch anymore and I don't worry about getting everything done quickly. Things will still get done, but when I get around to them now. Instead of feeling stressed, I feel much more relaxed. It's incredibly freeing to not know what time it is while you're doing things, it really takes the pressure off.
This is what living with low time preference really means, instead of living in the future or the past I live in the present, the eternal now. I worry a lot less about things outside of my control, and focus on the people and world around me and how I can help in more meaningful ways. I let my Bitcoin holdings handle global issues, because all the global issues I used to worry about are caused by FIAT and the simple act of holding Bitcoin shifts the world in the direction that ultimately fixes them. 🌎♥️
