This coming week is my last week of w*rk at 47! I have thoughts and loose goals (maintain and improve mental, physical, social health; enjoy life; etc) regarding how I will live post FIRE but expect the first few weeks to be de-compressive and mostly plan to rest A LOT. -It's a big life change that is not without stress and I am so tired of answering "What are you going to do?"
That said, I'm a firm believer that we are all functions of our habits and will work quickly to establish habits and routines that are healthy and in alignment with my values, and, probably more importantly early on to avoid bad habits (drinking, excessive internet time-wasting, etc).
I would really like to hear from you successful FIREes if you would be so kind and share your tips experiences that may help me and others as they start their post-career lives! What are you glad you did, wish you did, or wish you didn't do as you launched your new life?
I'm considering a 24 hr fast to start the "w*rk week" (I want to get back to intermittent fasting a few days a week) as well as a possible digital fast for several days (computer/phone/internet only when needed with a clear purpose-working HOA budget, personal finance, etc). The only plans I have is drafting a more detailed "announcement" post here with a summary of my FIRE journey and and sending a few letters/emails to thank a few people that impacted me over my life/career.
Thanks!
