Different people have different expectations about how they will spend their time in retirement, and I am curious to hear about the experiences of the members of this forum as to whether you structure your time or follow a routine? One of the benefits of retirement is that you no longer have to spend a significant chunk of your time working and you can now spend that time any way you like, but I suspect some people fill that time with structure and routine even if they don't have to.
For example, do you get up or go to bed at the same time everyday? Do you do your food shopping the same day every week? Do you have an exercise schedule? Do you eat at the same time everyday? Do you engage in hobbies or activities at scheduled times? Do you travel on a consistent schedule? (e.g. snowbirds who live in the South for the winter) Do you have structured appointments, like volunteering on certain days? Do you visit the kids or the grandkids on certain days? Do you set aside certain fixed times during the day for certain activities?
