Lately, I’ve noticed a weird tension between my day job as an actuary and my obsession with urban exploration. Crunching numbers requires deep focus, but my brain keeps drifting to abandoned buildings or hidden alleyways I want to check out. Has anyone else struggled with staying productive when your hobby is all about spontaneity?
I’m also curious how others handle the mental shift between structured work and the unpredictability of exploring. Sometimes I’ll wrap up a long day of modeling risk, only to realize I’m too drained to scout locations even though it’s what I love. Any tips for keeping energy levels up or carving out time without sacrificing either passion?
And for fellow explorers: how do you document your finds without letting it turn into another to-do list? I’ve caught myself over-organizing photos and notes, which kinda defeats the purpose of escaping spreadsheets. Would love to hear how you strike a balance.
