I have a question. First I realize im an incredibly boring human. What else is there to do? I admit the financial rewards of work play a huge role for me. Take away EM pay and im not working.. But lets say you are in your early 50s, kids are still at home (lets pretend) what is it that you do if you dont work? 100 hours a month is basically 12-8s or 8-12s or 10-10s. So lets call it 8-12 days a month of work. That leaves 18-22 days off a month.

Docs I know, golf, fish etc. I like some of those things.. However, it becomes a chore. I dont know how people spend their time. When I retire I want to travel and do it well but like most things I can only do so much. I know some people have very time consuming hobbies. I dont. Perhaps this is my issue?

So much.

My hobbies/past times currently:
-Learning golf
-Video games (Nintendo switch 2 is a blast)
-Reading about modern Iranian history
-Lifting
-Running
-Board gaming
-Hiking w dog
-planning a trip to Europe

Literally would rather do anything else than work in the ED.

I go between these two positions too frequently. If I have say, 6 days off, I'm itching to go back to work and "do some medicine" by day 5.

Then, just last night I gave away a shift to another doc who wanted the hours, giving me a stretch of 8 days off. Immediately after completing the swap, I said to myself: "GOOD! Get me the EFF away from that place for a good long while."

We're planning a trip to Oregon next month, Italy in October, and I'm absolutely skiing on my birthday in January.

I'm a damn good golfer, but I don't want to play. I played in a tournament on Monday and thought to myself: "THIS, this is why I don't play anymore... 18 holes should take 3-4 hours and go smoothly, not 5+ hours and involve all this circus. Screw this.

I wish I had a more stable group to play with but most recently played Wingspan which was a lot of fun. Scythe is another of my all time favs.

I play Waterdeep with a friend, who was the one who got me into it. He said it's more interesting than Risk, and I concur!

Oh I could walk tomorrow! I would miss people and some significant aspects of the ED but I would:
Sleep and wake at reasonable times
Workout more like 2-3hr a day (bike, run, lift)
Read. I have so many books to read.
Watch. I have so many movies to watch!
Listen. I have a stack of podcasts I’d love to enjoy.
Cook. I enjoy fancy prissy foodie from scratch cooking.
Make more of my little plastic model tanks and planes. Could do this a few hours most days.
Play. I love board games and computer games.
Plus the hang out with the family stuff. Maybe I could actually coach one of their teams.
Oh and the travel! I have about 1838268 things I’d like to see.

Eventually I may get a volunteer position or something to keep further engaged (I like history and outside, so maybe something park service or local history related).

There aren’t enough hours left in my life.

I have tried golf over and over and find it boring. I tend to enjoy sports where I compete against someone. Basketball , tennis etc. I find golf so boring.

I enjoy the gym. That’s the one think I would do more of for sure.

Hiking I enjoy also but I feel like I have enough time to do this now if I wanted to

Planning vacations is also fun but especially today AI can do 95% of the work in no time.
