Successful transition to retirement

I remember creating a "bucket" list of things I put off while working, home chores, trips to take, volunteering.....when I first stopped, I still got up early and started watching tv......I sometimes wasted a whole day on television. Then I stopped television, and started to do things I never had time for before. It took a year to get used to not going to work every day for 40 years, and now I don't know how I ever did it......it is a MEGA life transition, in my opinion

We too keep the TV off until evening unless watching baseball or football or entertaining sick grandkids! It can become a real time-sucker otherwise. It helped that we had no TV in our camper the first few months after retirement.
