Yes, it's true. I have joined the legions of people who have nothing to do. Ok, not NOTHING to do - after all, I better be applying for jobs and setting up my new life, but it's pretty nice being allowed to waste just a little bit of time (perish the thought).
Truth is, I've not stopped moving since day 1. I'm out seeing people, cleaning, working out, reading (what, reading?) and generally using some of this time to get to know myself again. Not myself as defined by my job or the outside world, but myself in my happiest of states. I'm taking time to breathe. I'm taking time to take emotional and physical inventory. I'm taking time to actually walk outside in the sun every now and again. I'm taking time to make special meals for my significant other. Plus, I make my bed every day, and it looks quite nice.
While I'm enjoying the experience, I've also realized that I better buckle down and give attention to this job search and development of my new consulting practice. But I'm going to hold on to this feeling of joyous freedome and self reflection practice while I reintroduce myself to the ways of formal work. Turns out, I quite like them both. It is, after all, a beautiful day.
