Ask HN: How to Achieve Mindfulness at Work?
It is hard to balance that and not be stressed. Have a good work-life balance, and sheer focus on the present. Do you feel that too? Have you tried to solve it? How do you achieve it daily?

Here's what worked: I quit. I quit and then took time off and regained an absolutely enormous amount of balance in my life. Like 20x more than I would have expected. Working in tech for 30 years had fucked me up way more than I had thought. Me! A man who is a practicing Buddhist, has taken trainings, who meditates, who journals... I had no idea.
I quit and then after a few months I knew I couldn't go back. So I'm not. I'm out of tech. I'm spending my savings to go back to school at age 46 to be a psychotherapist. I have never felt better about anything. So that's my answer.
