Feeling Lost

I have been playing FL since 2012 and am on my second character after semi-abandoning my first. I started up again last year but took a rather long hiatus. I'm feeling quite lost and overwhelmed. I have no way of reviewing my progress easily and I honestly feel unsure of what I've become. All my skill are rather even (W:87, S:96, D:101, P:117) and I am well on my way to becoming POSI. (I'm at POSLS lvl. 12 about to get my fancy schmancy bicycle. I am quite low on funds and am not really sure how to earn money at this point. I know that POSI have an easier time at it, but spending my hard earned echoes on strong-backed labor hurts my heart. So I'm putting it off.)
Anyway, anyone who took a long break and came back have any advice? How do I come back to this game without becoming utterly overwhelmed?

I came back about six months ago after a while away, so I get where you're coming from! I think it can help to focus on a particular grind to get back into the FL zone. For example, I set about rather single-mindedly trying to get a ship.
Another thing you can do is create a list of the major storylines you want to follow through, so you don't feel like you're constantly forgetting to do something. You can do this either by marking something as a plan in FL or keeping a handwritten list IRL.
Incidentally, if you're on the verge of velocipede ownership, you're almost at POSI status! :0)
If you're concerned about dwindling resources, the best grinds I've found are those in the "Unfinished Business in" storylets. You'll get them in Veilgarden, Watchmaker's Hill, Spite, and Ladybones Road as soon as you're a POSI :0)
Hope that helps!
