Today, on this Friday, I ended the chapter on my conventional work-life. My initial plan was to enter into early retirement to play full-time—to focus on my personal projects and interests. My employer, though, has a better idea and because of that, I will be entering into an interesting phase of redesigned work where I get to do both: play and work.

I’ll be starting my 3-day work week in the first week of August where I’ll be doing really cool analytical stuff in programs and processes, management information, and data analysis.

Which means I’ll still get to have a one-week short break in the final week of July before I start in August. I will try to fit in as much as I can the time for photography, art and reading (shortened to PAR), but I think I’ll be spending time during this one week planning the PAR for the upcoming 4-day free weeks. I love my life!
