I'm kind of in the same spot. But while it feels like freedom to do the things you mentioned (go on long walks, stop working mid afternoon, etc...), in the end our lives revolve around work and not the other way around. I'm struggling with this as breaks aside, there are other things I like to do in life.
- codingdave 7y agoYou are correct. But working 9-5 in an office doesn't change that. Your work schedule still dictates the broad strokes of your personal schedule, whether you can travel, and such things. Even the concept of "the weekend" exists solely because of work schedules. Figuring out how to disconnect from work and use the 8 hours of your day that aren't working or sleeping to pursue personal interests is important. The exact answer of how to do that differs between people. But it is a goal worth pursuing.
