Time Planning
As you embark on retirement, embrace the abundance of free time. Enhance your wellbeing by setting achievable personal objectives each year, then reflecting on your progress. Stay mentally and physically engaged by taking up new hobbies and learning opportunities. This holistic approach will help you make the most of your retirement years.
Time Planning : Key Considerations
Formulate Plans and Set Objectives
Planned objectives should be set against available time. Such objectives should be achievable and meaningful. Actual results should be monitored on a regular basis. Once objectives are achieved, you should find ways to reward yourself so as to continue incentivizing you to create new objective.
Develop And Perform Habitual Tasks
One should lead a regular and disciplined lifestyle after retirement. There should be daily routines that need to be observed. This could help keep you both physically and mentally engaged.Â
Find New Hobbies & Interests
Developing hobbies and interests that can stimulate your mind and enhancing your physical fitness are essential to feel energized and spirited after retirement, especially when you have much more time on hand to spend. You should always maintain a positive and happy attitude and outlook. Possessing a healthy mental mindset is an essential ingredient for a successful retirement.
Initiate/commit to establish a family bond
Having regular family gatherings can make you feel happier and closer with your family members. Offering help to look after your grand-children is a highly recommended win-win task if it can be arranged. Celebrating birthdays and festive seasonal events such as Chinese New Year, Christmas etc with family members are encouraged.
Gather friends/ex-colleagues to reminisce about good old times
Efforts should be made to meet with friends, ex-colleagues or business associates, over a meal or drink on a regular basis to exchange recent news around us and reminisce about good old days. This would be beneficial to everyone involved as people like to talk about past fun events that were experienced together.
