• What time will you wake up? Whenever I f*cking feel like it. No alarms.

• What work will you do? Whatever I find meaningful, challenging, and rewarding for me and for others.

• Where will you live? In a beautiful, real place, near the sea, where people are valued and treated humanely rather than as sources of potential profit.

• Where will you work? Anywhere I am, but most comfortably and productively from my standing desk with a big-ass monitor, noisy, old wired keyboard, and comfy, wired mouse. Clack, clack, clackity, CLACK!!! ;D

• Will there be a commute? F*ck no.

• Who will you work with? Kind, considerate, proven world-class professionals or those demonstrably on their way to becoming them. Life is too damn short to work with incompetent a-holes.

• What time will you eat dinner? Whenever I get hungry.

• How many hours a day will you work? As many or as few as I feel like. I create more value before breakfast than most people do in a week or more. Hours are meaningless.

• How much time will there be for family? More and more versus time for work.

• What will you do to let imagination and creativity thrive? That has never been a problem for me. The problem has been finding/making time to realize my own ideas when most/all of my time and energy has been spent in the pursuit of others' priorities. That's over.
