Retirement Routines that Bring Me Peace

Before we retire, we probably look forward to freedom more than anything else. Freedom to spend our days as we like, freedom to be unhurried, freedom from the constraints of our working lives. But freedom without a framework is difficult to manage. It's easy to find ourselves drifting through the days, not experiencing the peace we had so looked forward to. By sprinkling a series of simple, brief routines and rituals throughout our day, we create the "bones" of the day, which allows us to truly find freedom in retirement. Come along with me through a typical day and see how my own routines, rituals, and resets work to give me that framework -- and how I needn't worry about the rest of the time! And let me know in the comments how you like to begin and end your day, or share a routine from the middle of your day. I look forward to reading them. Thank you so much for joining me today! I'm very glad you're here. ❤️ Tobi #RetirementRoutines #FreedominRetirement #SoloRetirement #SimpleLiving Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:10 Recent enhanced realization about the importance of routines 01:50 Transitions in my early retirement years 03:05 The three great benefits of routines 03:30 Early morning routines 05:20 Midmorning and lunch routines 05:45 Afternoon routines 07:45 Evening routines 08:30 Wind-down/bedtime routines 09:20 None of them take much time, recap the benefits 10:50 Let's share in the comments!
