What would you do with a 2 month runway?

Question

I'm looking at 2 months of free time. Going back to a specific full-time job after that is possible without needing to put time into it (luckily).I've also recently had time off where I decompressed and successfully dealt with some burnout issues (also pretty lucky).Id like to put two months of work into a project of my own. I have a long list of ideas and I'm narrowing them down. It looks like I'm deciding between a local-first cms project, writing tech books (in interesting ways that blend storytelling and instruction), or doing whatever feels right on a given day.I have two goals: create something that can be at least the first version of a product, and enjoy the process.Two months is a deceptive amount of time. It can go by fast, but some of my best work has happened in a matter of weeks rather than months or years.What would you do if you had two months of funemployment?

Go on some trips, do some life enhancing things. Don't throw yourself into work. Life is short. Find the little things that make life enjoyable. 8-10 weeks is not a lot of time, it's basically summer break.

If it were me I&rsquo;d do what would result in a more stress free time 2 months from now. Namely getting some healthy routines set up. It takes about 2 months of continuos effort to make a routine habit, so if you start now you&rsquo;re golden.- Work out (saves money on medical bills and keeps you feeling great)- Cook healthy (saves money and keeps you feeling great)- Start a (physical) hobby you like (saves you money on other entertainment and keeps you feeling great)- Do something social (bonus if it&rsquo;s active too)
