Title: Hi HN,<p>A week from now I&#x27;ll be leaving a high-paying&#x2F;high-stress job at a big law firm for a part-time remote position (bitcoin related) that pays (comparatively) very little. I decided I wanted time to seriously pursue music, while also having time to read and learn new things (something I haven&#x27;t done much of the last few years). Diving into the workings of bitcoin has also made me want to get back into learning programming, which I haven&#x27;t really done since college.  It&#x27;s a big change and a bit scary, but I figure now is the time to do something like this, as kids are still at least a few years off.<p>So I&#x27;m looking to HN for general advice on budgeting my time and money -- I&#x27;ll have plenty of the former and little of the latter. I really want to maximize this experience, but I also know that I tend to be a bit over-ambitious (&quot;5 hours a day of music! Learn python! Work through euclid&#x27;s elements! Start an exercise regimen!&quot;.)  I&#x27;ve read plenty of great posts on HN about productivity, efficient use of time, and ultra-budgeting, so I thought this would be a good place to start.  I&#x27;m also looking for any general tips about staying engaged and active while working from home.<p>If anyone has any advice or stories to share, I&#x27;d greatly appreciate it. Thanks, all!
