I make enough money every month to pay my bills, and I have a decent amount of savings.

I wake up everyday and want to work on something fulfilling, but don't know where to start. I feel like I have no more purpose in life and am not sure how to spend my time.

I'm currently a principal SE. The role/level has its obvious perks (recognition/influence/very well compensated/etc.).

However, I feel some fatigue/burnout from leadership responsibilities. I have been burnt before and know what an ugly place it is.

What are your advice to help bring back some balance? I have considered:

* Taking a long break (up to 6 months).

* Moving down to a senior role and just chill (not exactly sustainable long term if we still want private school for the kids).

While IT & Reporting team may eventually have an trend spotting / alert solution, I wonder whether there are quick and dirty solution with existing frameworks, R packages, or some form of automation that I can install on my mac that would raise alerts on metrics that are in trouble based on rules that I set.

Of course, any cs101 student can create such program. But I wonder whether such a solution already exists that one can run quickly on their own machine before running it on a broader IT infrastructure.
