Ask HN: What little decision has created the most happiness in your career?
- kohanz 7y agoI work remotely, but opt to work in a co-working space that I walk to, year round. The social aspect is great, but the built in 3.5 to 4km of walking and fresh air every day along with music/podcasts is the clearest win of anything I do. It's exercise, and mental and spiritual time. Allows me to get into work mode in the morning and back to dad mode on the way home without any commute stress.
- badpun 7y agoDecision to seek financial independence and to retire as early as possible. I’m not there yet, but I already mentally don’t give a damn - if they fire me, there are plenty of other jobs when I can get the capital I’m still missing to reachy goal. This is a very freeing way to work, otherwise I’d go crazy with stress from my job.

- photawe 7y ago1st decision - working remote. I guess you could call it a huge decision, but yes - it's amazing! 2nd decision - getting a dog. I can't say it enough - how much it helps. I now have two dogs (long story!), and without them, I don't think I could handle the stress.
