From what I’ve gathered talking to the recently retired is that your employment always told you what you had to do. In retirement, you have to tell yourself what to do. They tell me the first 6 months they do nearly nothing productive. They read or watch all the TV they want while sitting on the couch, but then they start questioning if that is what the rest of their lives will look like and then the best one go looking for something to do productively (in however they define that).

Yeah, that makes sense. I just hope I’m not one of those people that can’t find hobbies to fill the day.
