Even though the whole digital nomad philosophy is about working while travelling and enjoying your work rather than waiting for a mythical day when you finally have “enough”, digital nomads aren’t immune from the trap of living for the future.
It usually comes from having a list of places to visit and things to do that is incredibly long, and a feeling that it must all be done in a relatively short period of time. Because there is so much to see!
When this happens, digital nomads often become so preoccupied planning the next thing and making schedules fit together that they can forget to enjoy the present moment.
But what can you do about it?
There are two main strategies to consider for you to be able to live more in the present as a digital nomad. The first is slowmadism, which basically means travelling more slowly to relieve time pressures and give yourself the space to enjoy where you are.
The second is mindset shift techniques that help you focus more on the present, which are useful to anyone who struggles with this, digital nomad or not.
