I like the list idea. We're big on lists at our house--even lists of lists that need to be listed. Our biggest problem is remembering what day of the week it is. I want one of those clocks that tells you the day instead of the time, and I'm going to hang it in the hallway above the dog's dish so I'll see it twice a day. Whenever we do things out of their regular time, (pickleball on this day instead of that for some reason, etc.) we're totally out of sync with what day of the week it is.
We spend a lot of time planning things--events, travel, and more travel. Half the fun is the planning. Sometimes I find myself with nothing to do, but there's always something to do; it's just things I don't want to do. (Cleaning the bathrooms, sweeping out the garage, weeding...)
I loved my job, but I do enjoy not working. My husband signed up to mentor small businessmen through SCORE, an arm of the SBA. This keeps the "work" side of himself satisfied.
