Diaries in retirement
Why would you keep a diary in retirement? Isn’t that something that busy, harried working people need and have? Retirement should be all about relaxation and low stress, shouldn’t it? Well yes, but…..
Here’s the thing. When you retire you will have friends and acquaintances who are still working. They will maintain diaries. That can create a problem for both of you. Here’s how.
If you fail to keep a diary in retirement then you may miss a catch-up with one of those still-working friends. Example. That friend keeps a diary so knows to meet you for coffee at 9am, but you are a no show. Oh oh, that is NOT cool.
It’s amazing how many issues arise in retirement that you don’t think about beforehand. That is why planning is essential.
