I hate to tell you this, but I’m pretty sure you wanted to spin clockwise. The Earth turns counterclockwise as seen from the north pole, so (assuming you’re north of the equator), spinning counterclockwise adds to the rotation of the Earth.
The effect is not significant. Better would be to get to the highest point possible. Gravity is slower the deeper you are in a gravitational well. The further from the center of the Earth you are, the faster time appears to pass, giving you more experiences before the external world comes around and demands he leave.
There’s a competing effect from speed — the higher you are on the Earth, the faster you rotate. Fortunately, that effect is multiple orders of magnitude less.
Again, the effect isn’t much, but I think it’s measurable with a modern atomic clock and a decent altitude.

No one ever says that to me unless they’re being sarcastic….

Man! That explains everything!!!

A very cute sentiment, though.
