Thinking

Finding motivation during retirement is not obvious. You are not compelled to act therefore it can be easier to let things slide. There aren't specific goals unless you create them yourself.

It is an interesting adjustment to be sure and the biggest challenge is slowing down the system to accept a less frantic and distracted pace as a new baseline. We also have nowhere to hide and whatever lingered in the psyche now demands that we examine it much more closely.

You cannot avoid or escape the increased time to think nor should you want to.
