John spoke of a lot of things, but his main focus was the idea that we need to establish office hours for ourselves in retirement. What he meant by that is that we need to have time to tune into the things going on in our lives – the taxes, the groceries, what’s going to be for dinner, what should we do this weekend, etc – but we also need to have time to tune OUT those things and the other “static” in our heads and just do nothing. I agree with this idea completely! The majority of people I kno...

Getting out and doing something - ANYthing - after you retire is important... to your mental and physical health. WHAT you do isn't as important, so do whatever you want.
