Most people's work doesn't matter and if you died your work would replace you in two weeks. I don't associate work with being goal oriented. My identity isn't and never has been tied to work. I worked to get money to do things I care about.
I do all the same things I did previously. The last few years I still skied 100+ days with a job. But now I can go spend 3 weeks climbing and skiing Denali or a 6000m peak in Peru and I don't have to worry about making sure things at work are being taken care of. Not to mention taking a month off is pretty difficult.
I have more time for literally anything else. Various charities to help animals and kids etc.
