An experiment was done in a grocery store: 26 differnent jams were placed on a table, all available for sampling and buying. Sales were slow. The experiment continued, and this time, only with 6 choices. Sales picked up to a brisk pace.
In my first year of retirement, this year, "sales are low"; plenty of opportunity (time and money), but deciding what I should do is slow due to the huge range of choices and a spouse that doesn't seem very interested in many activities.
I wouldn't say "bored”, but putting more time into my existing hobbies and social relationships is not hugely exciting either. But the good news is that was " the plan", since I had been advised not to jump into anything too big at the start (like selling the house and buying an RV or something).
