Family first, of course. I already dedicate a ton of my time to them - everything from just basic "hanging out" with my wife and kids, to all the basic maintenance of life - budgeting, housework, driving people around, scheduling appointments, and so on.

With my day job gone, I have a huge stack of side projects and hobbies that I'd love to put more time into. I think the hardest part, in a world where I've regained the time I spend on my job, would be deciding which of those things I actually want to dedicate my time to (there isn't enough time in my life for all of them, sadly).

I'd definitely spend more time on fitness, reading, and playing and listening to music. I have plenty of programming related projects I'd like to work on too. I like making videos and writing blog posts, and I'd continue doing that - probably at about the same rate that I currently do, creating a writeup or a video when I find something cool to share.

Honestly, I'd spend my time about the same way I do now - just "more so." I guess I'm fortunate to be able to say that!



I disagree with putting family first. Health is top of the list for me. Money is next. They are the enablers of time. Then family is a consideration.


If you have a family (i.e. a significant other and children, I don't mean your extended family) then my opinion is that it is a moral responsibility to put them first.
