I'm also obsessed with this and have mostly countered it so far by moving house every few years, living and studying in several countries and trying new things.

  To each his own. I've been enjoying getting familiar with the sun's location and cyclic changes of nature as the seasons and years pass where I live.

    You can do that for a year or two, then move on to somewhere else.

  I did this for quite a while. I am able to tell roughly when something happened based on where I was living at the time. I’ve moved 26 times and finally got sick of it. While I’m not sure how I’ll tell time now, I’ll figure something out. A lot of people use their kids for this. “Bobby was in 2nd grade, must have been 2014.”

  How do you deal with no stability? Do you have any sort of home base you can always go back to?

    You learn to live with the instability. You come to terms with how short and limited life and life's experiences can be. It can be a lonely life, but it by far can be the most rewarding. I look back from having diverged from a world where I never escaped my home-town gravity well and I'm glad I took the leap. It made me a deeper, richer, and more interesting individual.

    At the moment I got a visa that allows me to stay for 15 months, which provides a good deal of stability. I think a few years is probably the sweet spot before moving on.
