After many years of work, I had developed a pretty set routine.
Weekdays -Routine
- 6AM Get up, shower and get dressed for work.
- 7AM Drive to work
- 8AM - 6PM Work with collegues
- 6PM Drive home, pick up items, run errands
- 8PM Home tasks and relax
Weekends -No Routine
- No set schedule
- Generally do errands, kids activities, house/yard work
- Manage retirement investments and spending
Upon retirement in 2007, I no longer had a weekday routine. I filled it partly with part-time work (no pun intended) by doing seasonal taxes, working at local parks and teaching some after school classes. For one year, I was the interim executive director for a new non profit. These were all good transition jobs, but nothing stuck for a last hurrah job.
In 2015, I ended doing retirement part-time work. I started focusing more time on determining my retirement purpose and delivering on that: My Retirement "Career" and Purpose. Except for kid's activities, there still isn't much routine, but there is much more focus and direction, which helps a lot.
