Get high and scroll Lemmy, apparently
Work to solve problems. Not on a fixed schedule, but my choosing.
Also, long walks and visiting people I like.
I’d start with gardening, fishing, road tripping, camping, hiking, but I think that might eventually not be stimulating enough. I’d probably pickup a hobby that would enable artistic expression. Maybe pottery, or stained glass?
Work on Free Open Source Software. Seriously, I fucking love software engineering and I can’t really imagine doing anything else with my life. In fact, that’s kinda my current plan - work towards financial independence and then work on things that matter to me, on my own terms. I really hope I won’t get burned out somewhere in the process.
Same here. I wanna study compsci, do some research into things I pick up as being interesting along the way, then work on FOSS for as much as I can (without burning myself out, or anything like that). The world doesn’t appreciate FOSS enough, but it could very well be the future of computing, as our capitalistic society quickly gets fucked up :')
Get on my bike and see how far it could take me. And when I was done with that I would go build bike trails for my community.
Travel, camp, travel. Play with dog
So many hobbies
Volunteer at various non-profits. I am (sadly) one of those people that “need” to work in some capacity in order to fill fulfilled. I also need structure, which I’m not very good at building for myself. I need to be held accountable (such as being expected to show up to work at a certain time), and work has always helped me do that.
I’m about to leave my current job with no back-up plan, and while my savings and partner will provide for me for the rest of the year, I’m kinda dreading not having structure. I’ll probably volunteer somewhere.
Painting, drawing. General arts. Travel. Eating adventures. Fitness. Electronics and automation. Programming. Health focus.
And I’d make my point and click adventure game. Finally.
The dream
I’m a software engineer so I’d probably seek a way to use my skills in a way that benefits people, possibly something tied to volunteering work I already do. And also contribute to some open source project.
I’d try to maintain a somewhat regular working schedule but with fewer hours per day than I currently spend at my job. Maybe I’d travel and work from different places.
Work so that others can also have their needs met.
Pick up learning new languages and how to draw and make music. Create the things i think would be awesome but nobody else wants to and i cant because i dont have the money to learn efficently the skills required. Live in a nice little house in the woods with someone who loves me for who i am. Eat healthy and exercise.
I’d like to think I’d actually do all the art I’m too fucking stressed to sit down and focus on. Maybe make a video game or two.
My long term wish has always been to fuck off to somewhere not-too-warm and tropical, and write stories from a place where I can see the sea.
Work on myself for a good long while, then live a quiet happy life with some cats and, should i be so lucky, a partner i have mutual love and respect with.
See how deep the ADHD-hobby-collection rabbit hole can go 😁
I think the saying “if more money wouldn’t change the way you live your life, then you’re already rich” applies to me pretty well. I don’t think my life would be all that different. Maybe I’d spend more time working on my own projects instead of customers’, but generally speaking, there’s nothing I’m not doing because of financial limitations.
My ultimate goal, though, would be to buy a small old farm with some land and spend the rest of my adult life working on that.
