So, my target is next summer. Math says I'm FI now but need/want to work a bit longer to get some ducks in a row and max out the 401K one more time. I'll be fairly lean FIRE but fairly conservative (still about a 1/4 of expenses arguably above subsistence and have imputed rent as I own my residence free and clear) and I plan to work for fun/more play money (moonlighting now for low pay and loving it despite the extra long days after the day job I don't love).
I find work really hard to maintain focus and I play around with spreadsheets and calculators obsessively even though at this point my assumptions and inputs don't change much. I'm not worried about anything specific (market crash and maybe healthcare) but am thinking too much and feel it would be healthier if I could turn off my brain and go back to autopilot as I was in the middle of my journey to FIRE. I think a big part of it is impatience but certain things I need to wait to do (taxes/notification to employer, etc).
Did you go though the same, any tips to maintain my sanity and help me sleep better for the next 9 months?!
