 The current hypothesis I will try from January on is the following:
-   * Most of my income may come from my work at a small start-up, based in Lausanne, and dealing with artificial closed ecosystem. It is going to be a very interesting job, in an entrepreneurial contexte, in which we will develop useful technologies for depollution, ecosystem restauration, and recycling. As I will most probably be working 20% (one week a month) in Lausanne, I will have three to four weeks a month free.

As I will most probably be working 20% (one week a month) in Lausanne, I will have three to four weeks a month free for other stuff.
    * During these periods, I will partly be traveling around to meet & visit interesting people working in "edgy" multi-disciplinary communities.
    * I will also spend some time in Brussels, meeting the local communities here I did not take the time to visit yet, and keeping some days available to start new projects at FoAM. I want also to keep some time to read, and explore Belgium more seriously than I did so far.
    * I will keep spending some time with people I like, both in Brussels and elsewhere, and some time wandering around, to let space for things to happen.
+====(Un)Conclusion - Lessons Learned====
+My work will now to test the second hypothesis highlighted in the section above. In a way, I am back to the starting point, which makes me think that the Transiency will, in my case, continue a little bit as a continuous process for a while.
+This year, I mostly started learned how to experiment at lifestyle scale. Here are a few lessons I learned during this year. May they be useful to you, if you feel like starting a similar process:
+   * **External constraints are not the hardest.** Once I had 100% free time to do whatever I would feel so, I started to feel lost. Things that appeared to be very desirable before looked suddenly pointless and boring. More importantly, I discovered that my fears were inhibiting the transformation more than my agenda. I needed to work on that, and take quiet time for it, because it can be very hard.
+   * **The deepest personal work is the more transformative.** Learning how to do my own laundry soap was great. However, coaching and mindfulness allowed me to understand better who I am, and unlocked some of my internal barrieres to action.
+   * **Free experimentation space and time is more relevant than a five-year detailed plan.** I think that the most important ingredient for a life transition is the freedom of action, movement and thought. Leaving room for experimentation and trying stuff was an important condition to learning about myself, and my five year plans quickly became obsolete after small short-term experimentations. Fail soon, fail often, as they say.
