@just_mary_being_mary: I thought early retirement would mean finally having permission to do whatever I wanted. I didn't realise I'd have to learn that doing nothing was allowed. After decades of measuring my days by how productive I'd been, that has taken some unlearning. Early retirement gives you freedom from work. Learning what to do with that freedom is a completely different thing!

I know how you feel, it takes a while to appreciate that doing nothing is ok.

Today I had the plumber fixing my toilet for 2 hours, researched my upcoming walking holiday in the Dolomites, did a bit of ironing then sat in the garden reading. I've had no problem filling my time for 2 years since I retired 😊
