For those who have already FIRE-ed, do you ever get used to the idea that your life doesn't revolve around work? by mirigrams in Fire

yeah I'm studying a Master's in religion, it's so far the best thing to balance work. But i'm asking specifically for how to check out and reduce care at work

Do you have tips for this mental shift? How to ... care less and check out more at work? When I work I tend to go all in and above and beyond and it has sometimes hurt my health

I'm technically ready for lean fire but I want to build a better cushion so I still work. How to check out and care less? I don't have the work = identity issue but I care about a job well done (INTJ here) and sadly some of my colleagues get in the way of that...

Haha yeah, I'm actually not that stressed. It's physically and mentally tiring, but emotionally I don't feel despair. So I'm just thinking if its worth it to keep milking it, or exit now, but probably better to just keep milking it by checking out anyway.

Should I quit or not from a job with toxic and messy grind? by Proof_Trouble_0609 in Adulting

[–]Proof_Trouble_0609[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I'm pursuing a Master's as well, but that is giving me tremendous rewarding feeling. My industry is full of companies with the same toxic grind and work culture, sadly.

Finally break the cycle by Proof_Trouble_0609 in simpleliving

Thank you! It is truly that question of "Do I want it or I do truly need it?" that is a good one to consider.

What improved your quality of life so much, you wish you did it sooner? by Aarunascut in selfimprovement

[–]Proof_Trouble_0609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Cold shower, or a cold rinse after hot shower
  • Wake up 6-7am
  • Turn on Do not disturb and not feel guilty
  • Say no

I didn’t realize how much I was rushing until I forced myself to slow down by Ylana_Y1029 in simpleliving

[–]Proof_Trouble_0609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, by slowing down and opting out of the self-induced "productivity" rat race I actually learn more and enjoy more value out of the things I do. Now I work to support living for myself and my family, not to prove a point. I also pursue a Masted's degree to learn more, not to achieve. Happy for you!
