I plan on:
1) working substantially fewer hours, ideally ~20 and
2) Woodworking.
While being self employed will introduce it's own stresses, I'm excited to work and pursue a craft that changes much less dramatically and quickly as software development does.
I believe any kind of 'physical' work has a peaceful inducing potential. Whereas symbolic manipulation is often too taxing on your mind. Especially if it's not inspiring (most of big software projects?).
I'm curious what you and others think - would working in a software development organization in a non-developer capacity (management, QA, documentation, etc) have an effect on your stress levels?
