As I approach my retirement date (only weeks away), I've come to a realization:
Some of the hobbies and habits I've developed over the years have served mostly as a counterbalance to my full-time work life.
The focus was on relaxing and de-stressing. Now that no counterbalance is needed, I can sense that some -- no matter how well established -- will drop off and others will arise. It'll be a REvolution!
In my case, I think I'll be watching less TV in the evenings and hibernating less on weekends -- and I'll be exploring the city more. I'll stop buying collectibles in areas of interest (this has already slowed down considerably) and enjoy what I have or downsize it.
If you're further down the early-retirement road, would you share if you had a similar experience, and if so, which hobbies and habits you dropped and which you added?
