I'm impressed with how few of you while away your slow hours playing video games.

I recently "retired" from a major position after nearly a decade of 14 hour days and even though I took a couple of months off (and I am starting two new projects), I still love the freedom to just slack off and play Elden Ring for a couple hours every now and then.

It's not the most productive time in my life but that's OK. I'm sure it won't last, but it is so damn nice to be able to relax again after several decades of stress and high performance.
