I have different mind-candy on offer for mandecating. However, first I want to express my understanding of your caught perception and I am happy to hear you have an outlet for your mind's traffic jam. Those professionals have excellent ways to clear out the bio-attic so don't lose track of their tips and tricks.
Onto your current dilemma, I believe you're on the right path. You've placed a value on your property, you've set others to manage things while you are "away" and put everything else on a semi-low rental until you come back in whatever capacity.
The idea of stepping away seems wise. And while the hard part may appear to be is knowing when to return, or what to do, or how to do it, it's actually extremely easy. I don't believe it's right to set a "time to return" while you are in the quagmire. You have other aspirations, however far-fetched. Explore those, and me personally, I'd go for the most interesting to you but furthest from the whole PC world. But when you dive, dive deep. Explore it fully to your heart's content. During that adventure, you'll go periscope up from time to time and check posts, friends in Discord etc. but you will likely return to your new adventure until it's run its course.
Have a list of questions that have meaning to you, so when you do check in on old habits, you can gauge how or if you have changed your mindset about them. Then go do the next thing that you have an interest in. Rinse and repeat until you answer your own current question. "What am I doing today that I am looking forward to?" The when or if values will be clear when you answer.
This one is very insightful. Thank you. I had tossed up the insane notion of doing some acting classes to help get better at my photography by understanding the "science" of human motion in more detail, and perhaps that is something that I'll go and pursue further.
It's a good way to get my photographic stuff to a higher level, but then of course, I'll want to photograph people again, and feel let down by those that don't arrive when they say that they will. :D
I also like your view of not putting a date on things.
The only concern I have with that is "What if it all crumbles to no value in my absence?"
Sure, the sunk cost fallacy is pretty big here owing to the half a decade I've thrown in, but it would suck even more if I woke up one morning and so that all that time had been for naught.
There's many things that weigh on my mind. Foremost, the fact that I never waded into Splinterlands with the intent of "building wealth", or "capital", but now that this has happened, my brain shifts to finding ways to preserve that.
