Do 40 hours a week at work, clock off and not think about anything else computer related. I spent from 2012-2020 job hopping to gain new experience, recover from a lot of…bad career decisions…, and more money. Now I make “enough” (not mind blowing by tech standards), enjoy my job and there is no larger place for me to hop to for my specialty. It was officially 10 years in May that my career turnaround started.
Stay on budget with our new lifestyle. My wife and I settled on being “hybrid digital nomads” for the foreseeable future. Live in our investment property/winter home from October/March and fly across the US staying in hotels for the rest of the year. This year we got rid of house, cars and everything else that wouldn’t fit in three suitcases.
In that same vein, find “something” interesting to do at least every weekend in whatever city we are in while traveling. Our itinerary puts us in 13 cities next year.
Run a 5K. I last ran over a decade ago. While at 49, I’m not trying to put my body through the grueling training it took to do a half marathon, from my recent training, I don’t see any reason that I couldn’t get back to an average pace.
Eat better.
Learn Spanish. I started using DuoLingo 3 months ago. One of the places on our itinerary is three weeks in Los Cabos. I want to at least be able to muddle my way through speaking Spanish.
