Ask HN: How do I figure out WTF to do?

hey there, bit of a rant I'm sure many can relate to. I've been in tech a little while, almost 10 years. Most recently working in DevOps. I got laid off this week. I was kind of relieved. I somewhat liked this job but I found that frequently before I was just getting so damn bored and burnt out after 3-6 months. I can't stand daily standup, planning, retroactive, politics and all these things. I've had a side business that's been doing ok but it isn't scalable. I thought about taking 3-6 months off to work on getting SOMETHING off the ground, but I don't quite know what that is. My other business proved I could do sales and marketing reasonably well. I thought about doing web design or some technical blog post writing, but neither of those are really even pulling my interest. If I don't have a clear direction on what business I'm going to get to take off, it just seems really stupid to take the time off work. I feel like I'm going to eventually apply for jobs again, targeting a start in the new year. I don't want to run into those issues I've had in the past though of getting bored quick + the others. Have you been in this kind of situation before?
