It should be just the opposite. It should be enjoyed. An eight hour job where the tasks are repetitive and demanding are boring, not a life of retirement where you can get up each day and make it interesting, challenging, or just plain fun.
Not only that, but in retirement, you can also decide to work for pay, such as working from home or doing independent consulting work, or do volunteer work.
Either way, the key to it is that you are not doing it out of necessity, but because you want to and its rewarding.
Also, it is a time when you can plan a trip to some exotic place, learn a new skill, write a book, explore your city, go to a new restaurant, or just hang out with your friends more often. Begin on Sunday afternoon when you are relaxing and plan out your week, but always be open to the pleasantly unexpected.
If you live in the part of the country, as I do, where you have four distinct seasons, the seasons themselves help shape some of the things you can do for enjoyment. In the summer, the outside activities such as going to fairs, festivals, and parades beckons.
In the winter, the indoor activities such as going to concerts, movies, and plays beckons. The spring and autumn allows for even greater choices. Just use your imagination and enjoy life.
