I can relate. This sounds like me when I retired, up at 6, showered and ready to go by 8, but go where? I had projects lined up and needed to fill the hours until I was ready to let myself enjoy the time off. Now I barely know what day of the week it is. I relish the freedom of not needing to know.
OMG! I am dealing with the exact same thing right now. I am trying to launch this course, work a full time job, and do everything else. If my corporate job is slower I'm incapable of taking a nap because I feel like I need to be producing. I'm having FULL BLOWN identity crisis (is the plural crises I can't be bothered to click the dictionary app) on a daily basis because I am realizing I have tied so much of my worth to my production and my work.
Also SWOON CITY OVER HERE->
“I haven’t had free time in 20 years, I’m in identity free-fall,” I text the pharmacist.
“You know you’re priceless, right?” he replies.
It is also my goal to work 4 days per week, congrats on making the jump, you'll find your way slowly but surely and enjoy your rest! I'm going to try to do it more too!
So true, so true. Waiting for landing during free-fall is excruciating! Good idea to float around Brooklyn Botanic Garden. (Thank you for the memory of living near there...long time ago.) It's almost time for the hellebores again.

Goals! I aspire to not knowing what day of the week it is. :)
Love this. We all need time to lie fallow before we re-bloom.

Hahah I totally feel you on the daily identity crisis!! Good luck on the course launch!

Waiting for landing during free-fall… exactly. And I’m reading this from my happy place in the botanical garden greenhouses. :)
