Retirement

[Gomev]

Another thing you have to adjust to is reversing the week. Before retiring it was work during the week and rush to get everything else done at the weekend. Now it's do the necessary stuff like shopping, lunching, coffeeing, visiting etc during the week and avoid the working population making everywhere crowded at the weekend.
(I recently spent a couple of months or three visiting my sister who was very ill every day, travelling between Leeds to York and couldn't believe how much busier the roads are at the weekend).

I also avoid driving during the rush hours, Friday afternoons, Saturdays and Sundays around 10am.

Well said @Gomev, being retired means we can schedule visits, trips, holidays, days out etc, at times to avoid busy days and school holidays.

This sounds like someone without a wife or significant other. I've had many yr even when working that each moment of the day, even when at home, was already planned out without my input

Have the wife and also have the just do this during the day, as you are "working from home" a phrase where the from home bit is emphasised over the working bit.

One rule. Enjoy yourself it is shorter than you think

My oft rolled out story is that I remember walking out of the cinema having watched BTTF in 1985 at the age of 19 and then, fittingly, I seem to have landed in the next century with three grown up boys in the blink of an eye!
