Approach all my planning from resource (time and energy) allocation perspective. Previously I would just make a dump of all things that I want to achieve, which made any kind of planning unrealistic.

Stay afloat but do not try to actively climb anywhere, save energy for inner work and contemplation. Stay at my current job (ok pay, just got hired), do not actively learn anything technical unless required for work (not interested, tired from technology). Do no work more than is necessary to feel I'm not gonna be fired.

Approach very critically all learning endeavors that are related to programming, and only do things that I absolutely enjoy. Drop at first sign of dissatisfaction.

Spend time on high RoI things (critical thinking, stress management and overall well being techniques). Drop low RoI things (movies, TV series, guitar).

Try to fight news and politics addiction.

Contemplate on how and where I want to spend the rest of my life.
