I am so ready to be out of the Silicon Valley high-tech employee rat race. I hope I can do it while I still have some life left in me.

A few years ago it hit me: I could always get more money, but I couldn't get more time.

I'm not sure I can always get more money, but it's definitely true that I can't get more time. This is becoming more important to me as I slowly become more aware of my own mortality.

Good luck! Have you ever sat down and made a list of "things you'd rather be doing"?

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Oh yes, lots of them, lots of times. The list I haven't made is "how to support myself". :-)

I meant "job-type things" q-:

Oh OK. Yes, I've done that too, but unfortunately my favorite job is about six of them at once - all part time, widely varying. That may be tough to accomplish.
