'The best time of your life is the period between 2 jobs.' I will never forget this statement coming from my legal counselor. Incredible, but true!
So now that I am considering all my options, this is the perfect moment to enjoy life.
The very hot after summer weather makes it even easier to enjoy and evaluate my options.
Hereby my new focus for the coming weeks and months:
Cultivate a Rich Non-Work Life

Cultivate a Rich Non-Work Life
Find something outside of work that you are passionate about that’s challenging, engaging and really gets you going—whether a hobby, sports or fitness activities or volunteering in the community (along with other items we mention here, like relaxation, being able to “turn off” and participating in rewarding non-work activities).
Unplug
While communication technology can promote productivity, it can also allow work stressors seep into family time, vacation and social activities. Set boundaries by turning off cell phones at dinner and delegating certain times to check email.
Get Enough SleepWhile communication technology can promote productivity, it can also allow work stressors seep into family time, vacation and social activities. Set boundaries by turning off cell phones at dinner and delegating certain times to check email.
Research suggests that having fewer than six hours of sleep per night is a major risk factor for burnout, not least because poor sleep can have negative effects on your job performance and productivity. It can lead to fatigue, decrease your motivation, make you more sensitive to stressful events, impair your mental function, leave you more susceptible to errors and make it harder to juggle competing demands. The reverse is true, too: We’ve seen that sleep can actually improve your memory.
Recovering from chronic stress and burnout requires removing or reducing the demands on you and replenishing your resources. Sleep is one strategy for replenishing those resources.
Get Organized
Often, people spend a lot of time worrying that they’ll forget to do something or that something important is going to slip through the cracks. Get organized, clear your head, put together a to-do list (or an electronic task list) then prioritize. That way, you don’t have to keep thinking about those things because you’ll have systems in place to remind you.

My bucket list
Developing a list of all the things you want to see, feel, experience and achieve before you die. Here comes my first...drive our Thriumph TR3 as much as I can. Since a week now I am driving the TR3 every day and enjoying every minute of it.
