I thought this was a great question! It's interesting to see what others do as pastimes. Thanks!

Since retiring early just two years ago, I need to be active and have multiple things to do each day. I bought a huge calendar to keep track of all activities — usually 2-3 per day. I am finding home for me is just for showering and sleeping right now, and I’m eating most of my meals out each day.

I have lots of “indoor” interests that I envisioned I would partake of during retirement - so far I don’t have time for them,- but I suspect that will change when I get older and less “mobile”. I enjoy genealogy (I could see myself getting lost in this activity for hours each day). I also enjoy cooking - something I would like to spend more time at when I have more time at home - bucket list goal of mine is to cook the national dish of each country, starting alphabetically with Afghanistan all the way down to Zimbabwe. I also stocked up on DVDs over the last 30 years, anticipating watching them all in retirement (well over 10,000 movies, mostly classics from the 30s, 40s and 50s). I also spend time in Bible study at home.

So, for now, not a lot of time for indoor activities, but I will be ready for those more as I age and slow down (hopefully many years from now - lol).

Besides a variety of sports, I volunteer at My Humane Society of Sumter co three days a week. I'm so glad I now have time to help some great dogs. It fulfills my days

We fill each day with activities that keep us busy. I have concentrated on losing weight and calming my self down. To a great extent staying calm and trying to play catch up for all the years of tunnel vision and not paying attention to my health and sacrificing myself for my job can’t be reversed but instead of being a couch potato or staying on Forums for eight hours or more a day just doing the household things that I can still handle are enough to have a fulfilling life.

I’m grateful to be living in The Villages. Just knowing that all the activities are available are good enough for me. We do spend a lot of time at Doctors appointments! Almost forgot, we love going to the pool.

I haven't a clue what I do at home.
I spend most of the time asleep, drunk or getting drunk.
Next time my dear wife passes by cleaning up my mess, I will ask her if I do anything else.
Cheers

This is why we retire, so we have time visit doctors....
