Don't turn on the TV and find at least one volunteer activity to give you some structure and discipline. I'm 58 and I found if I don't have at least one structured outside activity to get me going, I can fritter away an entire day and accomplish nothing. I'm like you, I have worked since I was 13 and was looking forward to retirement. But, I found if I did not have at least one thing from the outside that was expected of me, I just got mired up at home and accomplished nothing. You know the saying, ask a busy person if you want to get something done? The more I have scheduled, the more disciplined I am about getting things done at home I want to do. That's what works for me.
