I'm building a new startup (have had success before) and love it, but we are a remote team so I can work from anywhere.
The problem is that my routine is fairly robotic and a bit boring. I can work from/live anywhere in the world, etc.
Totally hear you — that “robotic” feeling can sneak in even when you love what you’re building, especially with remote work. One thing I’ve found helpful (and guide others through) is revisiting your personal sense of alignment — not just with work, but with life as a whole.
You’ve likely heard of Ikigai, the Japanese concept of “reason for being.” It’s about the sweet spot where what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for all intersect. Most people focus on the work piece — but often what’s missing is the joy, novelty, or meaning woven into everyday life.
Sometimes it’s not about changing the work, but re-infusing life with small rituals, passions, or even new environments that align with your deeper values. Where you live, how you start your mornings, who you’re connecting with — all of these can be part of a more meaningful (and less robotic) rhythm.
If you’re curious, feel free to book a call with me, I’d be happy to chat more or share a few frameworks I use with people in exactly your shoes.
