Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
+1. I did the Get A Life Tree exercise to see all the activities I could do in retirement, that was essential to my final decision to pull the plug on work - seeing 50 activities I’d enjoy. Happily, 7+ years in and I haven’t had to refer to the Tree. But if I ever get bored, I will, so it’s a good idea for anyone IMO.

I also did the “Get a Life Tree” exercise; I highly recommend it. I also made a rudimentary schedule in my (then) Day Timer because, I wanted to have some structure & a notional idea of how I’d spend my time. I’ve followed it to some degree but, the biggest benefit was to put my mind at ease regarding the avoidance of boredom. DW & I also attended the OLLI retirement workshop in Asheville, NC (we lived close at the time & could drive there). It’s much more detailed but, absolutely worth the time and $$$ if you’re having lots of anxiety about FIRE and, need a bit of guidance finding a new balance in your life.
