I’ve been reading The Childfree Guide to Life and Money. Great book so far. It mentioned you spend 1/3 of your day at work. Others, not me, because I’m FIREd.

I was thinking this should be more like HALF your week-LIFE is consumed by work stuff.

I decided to do my own calculation on the time percentage by day that work takes up.

My month started quite simply – the first two weekends would be spent attending CampFI Rocky Mountain Colorado.  I’d also have a nice 4 days in between in Longmont, CO, the Mecca of FI life.

Just days before the camps began, I decided to change from weekend 2 to mid-week 1.5 with a return to Phx , then the beach in the days after.

This post will interrupt my previously scheduled post/thought workflow.

LifeInFIRE is ALIVE again.  Crashed, moved, updated, new and improved.

Wow, when in the zone, when in a flow state, with nobody around to interrupt you, it is a magical place.  A place that I hadn’t been in for a long time.  I didn’t expect to be encompassed in the zone today.

Rarely do I get so into something that I lose track of time.  I usually tend to jump from activity to activity every 30-45 minutes or so just because I think “Oh, that is what I want to do now.” 

I’ve been posting about aFunDance and Bias for Action and how it relates to me.  This is not really about those around me, but about my own life enjoyment and happiness.  I don’t discount other people when I’m considering how I distribute my energy, but I mostly very absolutely think of things I’d enjoy first.

I’ve shared my thought that maybe Curiosity can replace Purpose.

Over the past 6+ months with that thought, I’ve realized that for me, yes, curiosity is more my internal driver than finding or having some kind of purpose.  Maybe that is true because I’m introverted and feel my satisfaction and energy come from within, far more than any external factors.  Maybe I just don’t know good examples of internal purpose.

So again, today I was evaluating an Amazon purchase and trying to decide which item/version was the best for the price.  I realized about 10 minutes into my research I needed to stop digging in and just buy the damn thing and not waste my time being an idiot.

We live at full speed much of the time.

We are moving along while working on today’s tasks, focusing on getting things done, all while looking to streamline or optimize our efforts.

Is that just me, or are you one of those logical people?  Yes, of course, you are continuously learning and working to better and improve your life.  If not, you wouldn’t be reading random-guy thoughts on the web.  You would probably be chilling and hanging out.

I am not writing this to ask you for money.  First, I started my blog because I wanted to go to FinCon 2016 and thought it would be creepy to show up without a “content” site as I learned they are called.  Secondly, I did this of my own accord and shouldn’t expect others to fund it/me—whether you’re reading it, enjoying it, finding value or just trying to do the opposite of me.
