I may be in the minority who easily adjusted to retirement. My last job was at a start-up tech company. I worked from home but often put in 12-14 hour days. My work phone was always on and I was on call 24/7 in case of an outage or client emergency.
Even though I enjoyed my job, it was very good to let it go. I'm partially disabled and enjoy my own company, but I absolutely love having no schedule. I sleep and eat when I feel like it. My idea of living the dream is no commute and nowhere to be. "Keeping busy" means reading, cooking, listening to podcasts, engaging in discussion boards, playing online games, and catching up on a crap-ton of TV and movies.
(I moved here to be close to my siblings and the social activities were never a draw for me. As I said, a minority viewpoint!)
