This is one of the most relatable blog post I have read in recent time.

> precedence says I will fall into inaction and misery, and achieve nothing. Complete nothing

Exactly what I am afraid of; and this fear is keeping me from quitting my job. At my current job I worked hard to deliver on a "innovative" solution, which would have removed a lot of manual work, but the project got re-prioritized when the manager was fired.

I don't find any satisfaction in the current project; earlier I used to look forward to work, now it has become a chore. I have enough savings to last me 6-8 months. But I don't know if I'll be able to bounce back in case I end up wasting all those months.

If you want to take a break and financial runway is your only concern, move to a low-cost area of the world.

If you live in a high-cost country, I bet your base minimum spending is around 2500 if you're single, and 5000 for a family of four.

You can easily cut their by half in other areas of the world with a good quality of life. Instantly doubles your runway.
