When I first retired almost 8 years ago, I decided to get up at 6:30 even if there was no reason to. My alarm still is set for then. And, I do get up.
I'm a full breakfast person, and enjoy reading the paper thoroughly. So, it's sometimes almost 10 before I brush my teeth, make the bed, empty The New Kitten's litter boxes!
Depending on the week or the day, I may have a doctor's appointment or a support group meeting. And, as a creature of habit, I do my grocery shopping on Thursday.
I'm not into all the sports things, but enjoy hours planning my cruises or other trips, as well as keeping track of the trusts my late wife left. I am never bored, even though I'm seldom being as "busy" as everyone else!
My family is happy that I'm happy!
