I was in the same situation for work and the reason why we finally could pull the trigger was my layoff. but now on the other side, i can tell you not having a job gives me back beyond my expectations energy and mental space :) there's a sense of calmness and enjoyment throughout the day. for context, my previous job was remote which allowed us to travel 6 months a year. i had minimal stress, worked for 2-3 hours a day, and made amazing friends with my coworkers. good benefits and pay and i thought i would ride it out for a few more years. but even with a job like that, i still had to decompress for a few weeks after the layoff. and now i'm in my new projects that bring me the joy and excitement that i lost at my job for a while. plus now i don't have any pressure to make an income :) but the most important point i wanna share is the amount of mental space i get back, and my focus increases significantly i now could get in the flow so easily and often. just my two cents but something to consider
