Retirement prep - Year -3

Transcript

If you're a couple of years out from retirement and you have some concerns about how you'll make the adjustment, start with vacation. Just see if you can make it through a week vacation without your phone, text, email, etc. And, you know, naturally that takes a little bit of prep before you leave. But assuming that you've got someone who can be sort of like your emergency contact while you're out, see if you can just stay away from it. And if you can stay away from it, really check in on how you're feeling about that. That's a great exercise to get into in those last few years. Because you'll learn a lot about how well you'll adjust to the silence vacation brings. And you can also do the same thing on the weekends. You can have like a no email or no phone weekend where you say, I'm not going to touch work this weekend. I'm just going to sit in the silence. And at least from a work perspective. And just see how it sits with me. Give that a try. Especially, like I said, if you're going into your last few years before retirement. Because you really want to know like how difficult is my adjustment to the quiet going to be. Good luck.
