The Retirement Newsletter: Planning what to do when I am retired
Welcome
Welcome to issue -102 — filling your retirement free time.
This week, I will look at what I plan to do during what I call ‘free time’.
So, what is free time?
To me, ‘free time’ is when you are not actively doing something connected to your current plan or lifestyle.
For example, say your retirement plan is to travel around the UK in a camper van. What would you do with your time when you’re not travelling? That is what I mean by ‘free time’.
I must fill my ‘free time’; otherwise, I will spend the time sitting in front of the TV watching repeats. And that is not good for physical or mental health.
OK, what I’m talking about is not the big free time fillers, such as volunteering with the local nature group or working as a guide in a museum, but small one or two hours slots. The odd morning or afternoon, when you’ve got nothing on and nothing obvious to do. How do you feel that time?
This week — 10 things to do to fill your ‘free time’.
