Something we talk about a lot on this channel is figuring out what your new hobbies are going to be post-retirement. Most of us thought we had hobbies. Then we retired and realized that we'd kind of outgrown them and, uh, they just really weren't that, uh, engaging anymore. And a concept that really, really helped me, I discovered entirely on accident is, um, is, uh, determining the fundamentals of fun. And what that meant for me was I would look at the things that I enjoy now and I would say, what are the fundamentals of my enjoyment of this? Or I'd look at things that I enjoyed when I was little before life, you know, sort of kicked the fun out of you. And I would say, well, what were the fundamentals of that fun? So people say, they went to deer. People say, um, you know, I really, I really, I really loved, um, going out on my bicycle and just riding all over town. And so you'd say, well, what are the fundamentals of that? And, you know, for me, I did love that for me, it was exploring. I loved to explore. And so that's, that would consider that a fundamental of fun. So I write that down. I'd say one of my fundamentals of fun is exploring. And then, uh, you know, another one would be, um, I really, really liked, uh, experimenting and, uh, how I knew that was, I've mentioned in previous videos, um, I was always begging my parents to buy me those, uh, junior scientist kits and stuff. And, uh, so a fundamental of my, of fun for me was, um, discovery. Um, so, and you could also, you could say science, but you want to get as deep as you can into what are the, the actual building blocks of the fun for you. Then you can take those building blocks and build yourself a hobby from the components of fun.
