What are your biggest challenges?
One challenge I have is being unproductive. I’m lazy by nature. I can sit on my sofa for hours in the morning – drinking coffee and doing things on my phone or laptop. Winter tends to exacerbate this inertia problem.
Now that I’m not working, and the holidays are over, I’m going to have to create a more productive morning routine.
I’ll get on that – tomorrow.
Happy 2024 to all.

How has early retirement been? I think it’s only natural to enjoy a bit of laziness in the transition, especially during winter. When springtime warms up, you’ll have much more motivation to get out and about. Congrats on taking time off. I’m sure you deserve it.

So far, so good! (The thought of doing the same type of work for another organization is not appealing at the moment.) Thanks for your support!

I do with seasonal depression, sometimes myself. Michigan winters are brutal.
True story: the uncle of a friend of mine originally lived in Alaska, moved to Michigan, only to move back to Alaska, and said that he actually sees the sun more in Alaska than he did in Michigan

Good point. I think I do have a bit of seasonal depression. I should probably get one of those light therapy lamps. Thanks!
