A little reading to begin with

A SAMPLE FROM CHAPTER ONE

Look at an ordinary working week from before retirement and identify its cues rather than its achievements. A commute may have marked the beginning of the day. A shared break may have supplied casual contact. A final task may have provided a closing point. Describe what each cue did in practical terms, without assuming that every part of the former schedule should continue. You are mapping functions, not assessing the value of your career.

Separate useful functions from burdens you do not want to replace. A predictable reason to leave the house may matter, while rushed travel may not. Familiar contact may matter, while constant availability may not. Record those distinctions so an alternative does not recreate the unwanted part of the old pattern. A new anchor should serve the selected function rather than imitate the form of work merely because it is familiar.

Choose a small set of missing functions for attention. You may want a clearer day beginning, one regular connection or a point for shifting between activities. Do not declare that every empty interval is a problem. Some unstructured time may be welcome. Keep financial, medical and other consequential requirements within their appropriate processes; this map does not determine those arrangements. The first output is a short list of functions you would like to restore and former demands you are willing to leave behind. That gives the new week a purpose without treating retirement as a vacancy that must be filled immediately.
