If you don't have anything you have to do, then “What do I do?” is right there at the top.
This is something that happens for significant numbers of people, particularly in the tech industry.
A brief audio recording of my answer to a question from Nina, in a 2021 live video Q&A session organized by Frideswith. (My thanks to both of them!)
My answer is for paying subscribers only. (Free subscribers can see Nina’s question in the transcript below). The answer is slightly weird and silly. You won’t miss anything important if you don’t listen, so this is just a token thank-you for contributors!
I deeply appreciate your encouragement and support. It’s changed my writing from a surprisingly expensive hobby into a surprisingly remunerative hobby (but not yet a real income).

Jess: So, Nina’s question was a quote from you:
I was inspired to write this book when I saw many of my friends struggling with the question “What is my true purpose in life?”
Who was that friend? Or, what was the moment when you thought “Fuck it, I’m writing the book?”
David: Yeah, thank you, Nina!
