Resolution Number Four

Create a daily schedule for after I retire.  When I was a youngster (yes, I can remember back that far) my mother, who was a teacher, created schedules for our summer days.  That may sound terrible but it really was very comfortable.  We knew each day that we would have a couple of hours of chores but we also knew that we had play time and private time and that daily schedules could be flexible.  For example, on Wednesdays, when the bakery delivery truck came and Mom bought her usual order of bread for the week, she also bought a box of sugar glazed donuts and we promptly took a mid-morning break to devour them.  So anyway, knowing my basic personality, I think I'll do better when open days spread out in front of me if I have some sense of how I will fill them.  I also suspect that it will help me avoid over committing to volunteer activities.  it's amazing how many people have already approached me with suggestions for post-retirement volunteer work.
