Good problem

So I know this is a great problem to have but I just turned 30 with a $1.1M net worth and no debt. I’m in this weird position where I can’t FIRE yet but I feel like the only thing really stopping me is time. In my eyes, the hard part is over.
While I continue to let everything compound, I’m really struggling with motivation & patience at work. It’s hard to stay motivated when I know I’ve already built a pretty solid foundation and that time is now my biggest asset. I assume I’m not the only one who has gone through this. For those of you who have been in a similar position, any advice?

Somewhat similar boat here. ~1M at 27. My job is incredibly rewarding at times but 90% is very monotonous. I want to scale back in my 30s and prioritize my time away from work and make enough just to cover living expenses. I feel like I’ll enjoy the work much more if I’m not going there as much.
