#32Just another suggestion.
Why not learn something entirely different? Learn about personal finance. Most education systems that I know of do not take this seriously. You will be able to take informed decisions about loans and investments all throughout your life.
How ever an investment is structured, you will be able to see the crux of it and how it really affects your money.
I learnt it free online on Coursera (I think) more than a decade back and even the little that I retain vastly improves my financial decision making skills.

#33Paradoxically, non-internal answers to this will take the freedom from you
Not sure I agree. It's sometimes helpful for me to crowdsource feedback b/c I don't think of everything. I'm highly self-motivated and never even had an inkling that might be the case.
You're right! I was thinking it from the perspective that things that come from within might be more rewarding, but I agree with your point and I changed my mind, suggestions are good signal to try things.
In that sense, I would recommend first going through watchlist, reading list of similar pending things that give me a lot of peace of mind, also connect with people you have postponed to reconnect with, I'd learn an instrument (my choice would be piano) and train my self in a sport of interest (like table tennis)

#39For the first week, be lazy, and lounge around while keeping up with your normal routines. Try to let yourself get bored. Start reading a book you've wanted to try getting into. For the second and third weeks, you should have gotten your fill of sitting around. Try finding at least 6 places around you to stop in at, even if it's just for a coffee or lunch.

> Try finding at least 6 places around you to stop in at, even if it's just for a coffee or lunch. In my last 2 weeks off where I didn't travel I made the plan to visit a different place for breakfast/brunch each day. It was great! It found more nice places in the city I'm living in that I haven't visited before, and provided each day some structure which prevented my from just doing nothing.
Yes! For me, having some sort of structure is key, otherwise I can easily fall into my comfortable defaults of barely leaving my apartment, despite living in walking distance to my downtown area.
Nothing wrong with being lazy once in a while, but I just don't want to fall victim to "Covid Time Machine" if I can help it.

This sounds like what would happen if OP followed no advice, nothing wrong with that though and airing out your brain.
Nothing wrong with living like a Hobbit, if that's one's jam. Hobbits do a lot of things right.
