For me its gardening
Ever since I regularly gave started hearing "EBITDA" my mind has drifted more and more to doing something with my hands, making something and then seeing it there in front of me. Something that gives joy.
I'm still spending time on my self hosted services as a hobby, but that too is just to bring joy. The family can enjoy jellyfin abf navidrome, for example.
I'll still have to work IT for a while, I fear, but I can't wait for the day I can stop doing it professionally
I got caught up working on my old house this summer. Doing carpentry and electrical and a half dozen other things. Nothing digital, only hands. Now I can barely force myself to be near a screen, like it's painful. I am sitting at work counting the seconds until I can go home at lunch and pull a couple of nails. But there's no way doing that work would pay what I make for sitting a few hours a day on my ass, so those hours are just gone, to a fog.
