I find it helps to have one extra thing to do each day. Does not have to be a big thing, and it is not as easy during the pandemic, but that does help to keep me from getting bored. Even if it just takes me an hour or two, it makes a difference. But as others have said, you the boss now and do or dont do whatever makes you happy!

What, wait, you didn't even find the end of the internet?
PS. My wife complained I was on the internet to much, I told her, it's all over,
I found the end of the internet.
I think she half believed me!

OP, my retirement mission statement is very similar to yours.
To make sure I don't forget it, I bought myself a little "reminder" mug.

Keep at it! It takes a good 3 months to get absolutely nothing done.

Just finished my 5th month of retirement. Played two sets of tennis this morning then played 4 games of pickleball. Practiced a little baseball this afternoon and got a couple of walks in with the dog. I appear to have lost my way.
