Retirement and losing an identity that you've had for so long, can be a lot of work...for some of us.

Just throw yourself into it as if it were a major, company changing project...at your old employer (or business).

You may find that just identifying, planning, scheduling and participating in all of the opportunities here (spreadsheets are fun)...is a lot like those old important projects.

Just realize that the beneficiary and all of the success & rewards this time...is for yourself.

Good luck.
