Get a proper sleep.
I’d start with gardening, fishing, road tripping, camping, hiking, but I think that might eventually not be stimulating enough. I’d probably pickup a hobby that would enable artistic expression. Maybe pottery, or stained glass?
do you want a list?! I have adhd and 1.324 different hobbies and projects in different stages of completeness. If I had free time I would get 200 more hobies and start 200 more project without finishing the ones before lol
I’d like to think I’d actually do all the art I’m too fucking stressed to sit down and focus on. Maybe make a video game or two.
My long term wish has always been to fuck off to somewhere not-too-warm and tropical, and write stories from a place where I can see the sea.
Volunteer at various non-profits. I am (sadly) one of those people that “need” to work in some capacity in order to fill fulfilled. I also need structure, which I’m not very good at building for myself. I need to be held accountable (such as being expected to show up to work at a certain time), and work has always helped me do that.
I’m about to leave my current job with no back-up plan, and while my savings and partner will provide for me for the rest of the year, I’m kinda dreading not having structure. I’ll probably volunteer somewhere.
Travel, camp, travel. Play with dog
Play video games. Bake bread. Learn to code. Create music. Maybe create a game of my own some day. Release it 100% for free because all my needs are met.
… oh, and sex. Lots of sex. But I think that goes without saying
Gardening, fishing, skiing, hunting, making furniture, building boats, long road trips with the family.
Basically typical retirement shit.
DM or GM tabletop games for groups
Work so that others can also have their needs met.
Continue to work for extra shit probably. Sure basic needs are met, but I don’t think basic needs count for computer parts, drones, supplies for home improvements. My life would be easier on bills but would still need funds for projects and hobbies.
Same thing I do for money now, handyman shit
Harass minorities.
only correct answer
You’re describing retirement. And, boy have I spent a LOT of time thinking about what that looks like.
A lot of people have lists of things they’d do, see, learn, or be. I had one too, but it kept fucking changing depending on where I was in life and what my interests were.
Any list I had always felt restrictive. Here’s where I ended up instead…
I would put my energy and attention only on the things that I want to put them on at any given time.
I guess some call that living in the moment, but I call it retirement.
What is retirement? A time when you will have enough money to just exist in whatever way you desire? Sounds fake.
Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, Or what’s a heaven for?

Judging by what I’ve seen lately: crime and opression to maintain my status because I only understand the world through the lenses of artficial scarcity and zero sum game theory.
