Don't love your job?

Keep telling yourself - "I'll be happy when..." ?

Life not quite lighting you up in the way you'd hoped?

Well, this is for you:

Welcome to Episode 35 of The Much Better You Podcast - Take a Break, Be Bored, Retire Early!

In this episode, we discuss why the productivity trap can be so devastating, how a simpler life is better (and cheaper) than you may think, why bucket lists are shite, and why flexibility and optionality is critical given that best-laid plans so often don't work out as expected e.g. "once I retire, I will...(insert unlikely dream here)"

There's just too much cool stuff to mention here!

This episode may well get you to seriously reflect on - and maybe even reconsider - your current life plans.

(This is dedicated to Veronica xxxxx)

Chop chop. The Much Better You is waiting...

(Warning - contains a terrible Yoda impression, a Will Smith slap, AI swearing plus a resultant epiphany that may drastically improve your life!)

Episode music 'I Don't Know Why (piano)' and 'High (Broadway)' by RomanoIsSolo.

Enjoy!
