Does anyone feel like they don’t want to go back to normal? On the one hand, absolutely I want to. I miss seeing friends, dressing up, going out, and traveling for work. On the other hand I have saved so much money over the past year, spent a lot more time with family than I would have ever been able to, and actually rested and been able to focus on my wellness (started therapy and treatment for a chronic condition.)

What you're describing is wonderful, you ran a little experiment on your life, tested a bunch of hypothesis about the things you like and don't like and learnt things about you. Now it's the matter of turning those learninga into a reality.

While you might thing life is just the way it is and you're supposed to just live it, it's not true. You can design a life the way you want and live it on your terms.

I was a strategy consultant and way before the pandemic realised I want more time with family, I want to spend less money on things that don't matter and more on things that do. I was sceptical that I will be able ot live a life I had in mind, because otherwise everyone wouod have already be living such life, right? But I was wrong. I was able to build Ana amazing life and realised that people don't do it because they don't know how to do it or don't have the right support.

And this is why I made it my mission to help as many people as I can to design and live an amazing life. We are on Instagram if you want to join our community of trailblazers @yourlifestartup

And I'm here if you have any questions!

I enjoy work from home. Save a lot of time, work at my own pace and can work from different locations if I get a headstart on a weekend. What I don’t like is it blurs home with work. While working with different time zones sometimes I have very long days during quarter closes. Not lookkng forward to three days a week at the office in the fall though

No one should ever go back. Create your future the way you want n

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
