[QUOTE="Rel, post: 6040355, member: 99"] Thanks, Janx! (that even rhymes) This actually has a huge bearing on how people perceive what I do and how I help others. Everybody is afraid that I'm going to tell them, "You need to quit that boring 9-5 and strike off on your big (seemingly impossible) dream on a whim!" Most of what being adventurous and loving life is about to me is the methods we can employ to focus on the best parts of what we already do and then expand them, organically, into the rest our lives. Better time management and looking for ways to job-trade so that you can exchange bits of what you do for a living with others that you work with so that both of you are doing more of what you like best about the work. Sometimes it is even just about a change in perspective and saying, "I'm not working overtime right now. I'm funding my trip to GenCon!" Again, I do this all the time in my gaming. I don't feel the need to describe every mile of the journey to Waterdeep. I purposefully highlight the parts that I know will be most important to my players and myself and leave out the boring parts as much as I can. I'm sure that some of it may still be boring now and then. But it's all about where I put most of the focus. [/QUOTE]
