| Comment | I'm actually nearing the end of the journey that you're about to embark on. I Left my job at the beginning of February feeling thoroughly burnt out after a year of averaging three days off a month. My salary was pretty good and my final pay was monstrous due to all of the days off and holidays that I wasn't able to take, so money was never a worry. By April I'd found a new job that I won't start until next month which gave me the peace of mind to go out and enjoy myself.
The best advice that I can give you is to invest in yourself and enjoy having little to no commitments because you probably won't experience that again until you retire. After job hunting, I've spent the past four months raising my cooking game to another level, visiting family scattered all over Scotland, flattening out my forehand, sailing round the Slate Islands, fixing bits and bobs around the house that had been bothering me for years and reconnecting with friends who I'd drifted away from due to always working/being scunnered by work.
I didn't have a bucket list or anything - things have just happened organically. Everyone's different so you may want to plan out what you wish to do on a calendar, but I would recommend keeping your schedule clear and doing what you want to do when the mood takes you. |
