I am recently (2weeks) retired. I was talking with a group of retirees yesterday after golf. Common amongst the group was the experience that if they "Do nothing" for a while they feel guilty and have to accomplish something.
I am looking for your input. Should I embrace this when it happens? Or reach for some inner calling that says I don't have to get that chore done today. Tomorrow (or the day after?) will do.
My group yesterday observed that we are drilled since birth practically that we have to finish that coloring, homework, work project, etc. But do we need to do that now, at this stage of life? Shouldn't we allow ourselves the freedom to "just do nothing" for as long as we like, and not feel guilty?
Your thoughts?
