Self reflection.
I haven't been doing much of it in a long, at least in terms of personal growth.
Understandable, to some extend.
During the years of the pandemic, I was in wait-and-survive mode.
And I got a new, challenging job that soaked up a lot of my growth-related energy.
I haven't had much interest in doing much personal fun hobby stuff in a long time.
Maybe I'm depressed, although I don't feel particularly sad.
Where I've had any interest at all, it was in daydreaming of vaguely about buying a boat or a house, though without any strong desire.
Part of that was having a remote job and hearing about co-workers like Jesse who drive around in an RV working from anywhere.
I have some means and few ties.
What's stopping me from trying whatever eccentric lifestyle strikes my fancy, except my own inhibitions and lack of imagination?
What might I want to do (particularly stuff that doesn't entirely involve sitting at my desk)?
Buy a sailboat.
Buy a house.
Build a solar-powered boat.
Build a (trailorable?) tiny house.
Participate in an archaeological and/or paleantological dig, even as a vacation I pay for.
Play with remote sensing or embedded electronics stuff, as simple as home automation style things or as complex as autonomous boats
Garden (winter crops? greenhouse?).
Barriers:
Dislike/avoidance of discomfort and inconvenience.

Empty distractions (watching videos for hours every night).
Delay thinking (I'll do it after I retire).
