Managing your time

Retirement day remains such an anticipated date for so many people because it marks the end to the demands and pressures of working life. No more punching the clock. No more days packed with endless meetings and appointments. No more looming deadlines. No more time-consuming commutes.

However, although the stress related to your job has vanished, replacing it is the issue of what to do with all the free time you now have. This might sound like a non-problem, but for many retirees who have been on-the-go for decades, the sudden drop in activity can lead to a case of stir-craziness.
