- non-boring: skip things you find boring - pleasant: skip things you find unpleasant In other words: resist outside pressure, experiment by yourself, take responsibility. Taking responsibility could be seen as the first step. Once you're OK with the idea, it's easier to experiment out of the box, and to resist outside pressure that would force you into a boring, unpleasant life. That's how I do it. I'm 46, live happy, in a happy couple for 7 yrs, nomading, currently in Malaysia, remote software engineer, working as little (<1wk/m) as possible to sustain this life. I own nothing and don't crave anything, I did nothing as they said, I learnt to not care about what they think, I'm responsible for my own fate. My priorities changed a lot after an ischemic stroke 14 years ago: life is short, too short to let others tell you how boring your own life should be.
