What I’m Focused on Right Now

For more than four years, I published a blog post at least once a fortnight (more often than not, every week). And for more than two years, that also included a podcast episode.

For someone who’s already stretched with client work, it was tough maintaining this commitment, but I felt the work mattered and so the effort was warranted.

Not long after my friend, Jon, entered palliative care, I decided to take stock of where I spent my time. I wanted to devote more energy to my son, Tommy, plus I wanted to pick up my camera again and spend more time in nature.

Since I began blogging in late 2015, I focused on issues around midlife reinvention, remote work, and finding your path to the work – and a life – that’s right for you. These issues remain important, although I don’t need to beat my drum about remote work anymore, thanks to the pandemic and the subsequent move to remote work.

So here’s what I’m focused on today:

  • After giving the idea a few months to percolate, I conceded, very willingly, that I’ll always be a photographer, so I returned to it. Check out my photography story at peterfritzphoto.com.
  • In early 2022, I started filming videos about landscape photography. In late 2023, I introduced another great love – cars. I also started sharing more of the topics you may have read from me in the past. Take a look here.
  • In 2025, I created an additional YouTube channel, focused on living more deliberately in midlife and beyond. It’s called The Act Two Project.
  • I’m refining a set of simple, practical tools to help you choose your pre or post-retirement project. The idea is based on a four-step process I’ve called Compass. It’s designed to help you decide what matters now, what conditions your next chapter needs, what options are in front of you, and what path makes the most sense. You can get a copy of the Compass Cheat Sheet here.

Thanks for checking this out, and as always, write to me any time.
