Sometimes I think the thing I want more than anything in the world is the time to spend 15 minutes making a coffee in the morning.

I feel like you've just given me my new life goal, a career and lifestyle that enables that.




Well, that's kinda the thing that I'm realizing. I want my first coffee about... 10 minutes before I wake up. Add the chaos of getting the kid to school, and I'm not retiring the phin filter any time soon. But, sitting at home, I very well may fashion a rig on my desk that makes the perfect low&slow espresso for my second cup. And, hey, that's a lower dose of caffeine, so I can justify a third cup!


As someone that isn't content with their life, but has 15 minutes to brew coffee in the morning and savour the experience, you've made me appreciate how fortunate I actually am. Thanks.

Your goal is closer than you might think: I've found the time to brew my coffee when I quit the 9-5 rat race and I do remote consulting now, working my own hours. Good luck.
