One Boost Only

It’s interesting the parallels in video games and life. In some gameplay, especially arcade-style games, you can use a “boost” once in a round. Then, you have to wait for the next round.

It seems like we’ve evolved over time for sprints, for feasts and famines, and basically for living on both sides of the extreme. For me, it’s one day of staying up late, cranking past limits, followed by a day of getting to bed early. There are few days when I can use a boost back to back.

While in university, I could pull overnighters with relative ease, it was never something I could do consecutively. Doing it every other night required so much caffeine that I’d get palpitations. As you get older, the time in between boost usage gets longer. Use them wisely.
