For context, I'm in my 50s and have done all I need to do in the tech world. So I'm motivated by deciding what to do with the remainder of my life. How to be healthy and happy, decrease stress, increase life satisfaction, and not be regretful at having worked my entire life and then dying.

So I'm working towards setting myself up for the future non-working years. Buying tools to support hobbies, gaining woodworking skills, learning to kayak, improving my exercise and eating habits to stay strong. All so when I do stop doing the tech day job, whether that be in 5 years or 5 days, I am already in the shape I need to be in, with the tools and expertise needed to be productive with my time doing things that are different than how I spent my working days.
