You're describing retirement. And, boy have I spent a LOT of time thinking about what that looks like.

A lot of people have lists of things they'd do, see, learn, or be. I had one too, but it kept fucking changing depending on where I was in life and what my interests were.

Any list I had always felt restrictive. Here's where I ended up instead...

I would put my energy and attention only on the things that I want to put them on at any given time.

I guess some call that living in the moment, but I call it retirement.

Not just you! But it wasn't until I saw a quote from John Wayne that it registered for me...

Talk low, talk slow and don't say too much"

...had someone rifle balls at you, as hard as they can, off of a bat or racquet. Something about facing it down and letting your instinctual reactions take over is viscerally primal.

Toilet paper that doesn't exfoliate your pucker hole with a single wipe. I pay a little bit extra to not feel like I'm pooping in a construction site portable

Hands down, when someone is eating while using a handheld phone. No matter how hard you try, mics are designed to pick up audio from near your mouth, you WILL sound like a face hugger from Alien

Absolutely! You can also sync your notes folder/vault by placing them in a connected folder if you've already got another cloud sync service
