Quitting my IT job was the biggest shift I’ve made in years. Most of my days used to be spent behind dual monitors, juggling endless tickets, meetings, and code reviews. Now, my screen time has dropped dramatically.

I still write, code, and work on projects, but I do it by choice, not because it’s my job. My time outdoors has grown. My sleep is better. The mental fog from staring at a monitor for ten hours a day is gone.
