You can probably do it for a while. But, there is some sort of long term mental reserve that is depleted as we work. You would deplete these reserves more rapidly and need to take a major vacation much sooner than if you had one job. The

I think that you are just exhausted, and you need a major break from work. Two weeks is not enough. I recommend you find am all inclusive vacation spot or tour and spend three weeks there. The all inclusive aspect is critical because you

I'm largely self-taught (3 courses in 50 years). I think I understand the issues. To survive in this world you must understand Structured Programming and Object-Oriented Programming. There must be a concise book on this. Find it an

I've done it for my own enjoyment. I do logs of historic sea voyages. You never now when you will stumble upon some fascinating content or event. I found a love poem for a dead sweetheart that was written while off the coast of Chil

Regarding #1 loss of identity: For me it was wonderful. It was like I had just finished college and all the world was before me. I could pursue anything. I was no longer tied to set trajectory. It was freedom and opportunity.

There is an article in the California State Constitution guaranteeing public access to the ocean. That's how old the California tradition of public access to the beach is. If they want "privacy and exclusivity" put a fence

This is wonderful. It has usefully sharpened my understanding of what it means to read, how to do it, and why. I understand now how my perception of the task of reading has been confused and how this confusion has been harmful.
