Your 'quiet' retirement days are a direct result of your output during your career. If you have nothing to stress about, and time for a nap - well done.
This definitely landed. I retired in late 24, but immediately was hit with back trauma and spent most of last year learning how to walk again. I'm still hobbling. But I'm not giving up. This year is about a reset to do what I can and get better at what I can't (like getting back to hiking). But there's a pressure that all of that, and the writing, has to be done right now. No, no it doesn't.
There are times when the truth of what you say is my life in a nutshell: "You make lists just to feel the relief of crossing something off, even if the list includes 'buy paper towels' like it's a strategic initiative."
And I keep those lists on my phone, so it is efficient.
