Saying Goodbye to My Career
I find myself in uncharted waters. I’ve already started to live on a semi-retired basis by taking as much vacation as I do. I’m not investing in my career at all, and I feel like there’s no turning back now. Not many people my age (51) do this. Am I being smart or foolish?
Reflecting on my past, I lost motivation for my career several years ago. Consequently, I never trained myself in new technologies and arguably walked away from opportunities where I could have played a significant role in developing a business. For me, the seniority of a role didn’t matter much, nor did the money; it was about the positive impact. A couple of years ago, I didn’t like who I had become; I felt like I had turned to the ‘dark side.’
Can’t Sleep
It’s 3:54 AM, and I am awake. Perhaps it’s sleep apnea causing this. I’m four hours behind Central European Time (CET). I’m wondering if I should wake up now to start transitioning to Dutch time.
