CONGRATULATIONS!
There will be adjustments to make.
I retired gradually, finally ending my daily job June 1. Adjusting hasn't been as easy as I thought. I have lived with minimal structure since I went into business 30 years ago, but having NO externally imposed structure to my day is taking some getting used to. I feel guilty if I don't get up, get out, and do something even if I don't feel like it. I have to keep telling myself I can do anything I want or nothing at all. I keep having this argument with myself:
"I don't want to do X."
"Then don't. You don't have to do it. You own your time."
"Yes, but I should do it."
"OK, drag your ass out there and do it."
"I don't want to do X."
