Would you stop working? Or would you take a break until you found something you truly wanted to work on?

My job is what I want to work on. But I'm lazy, and I know myself well enough to know that if I didn't have to go through the things I dislike about my job (hello doing performance reviews), I'd stop doing it all. And it would ultimately be to my detriment. I wish it were otherwise, but there we go.

I'm probably much older then you. My advice is stop thinking you are lazy. If $50 million is enough for you to be comfortable for the rest of your life then take that - nothing is more valuable than time. You'll find something rewarding to do with your time. Even if you just enjoy your life, it's fine!

Not the person you replied to, but I would 100% stop working. Even when I find things I want to do (not work), those rarely last more than a month, usually a week.
Anything that expects me to wake up at the same time every day, or working for a set amount of hours, or prevents me from stopping or taking a break (weeks, not hours) when I get bored of working on it is out of the picture. That leaves zero work options as far as I'm aware.
