I just gave notice to my employers of the last 15 years - in two weeks, I start retirement.
My plans for this new phase of my life are very much like the guidelines for successfully playing The Long Dark, one of my favourite games:
Get enough sleep.
Eat properly, and stay hydrated.
Keep my energy level up.
Avoid cabin fever by going out, exploring the world, and discovering new things.
Make sure that I stay warm and dry.
Avoid being killed by wolves or bears.
And every now and then, take a minute to just look around and appreciate how incredible it all is.
Overall, not a bad set of rules for life, although really, I'm not VERY worried about the wolves and bears one.

P.S. By the way, I'd love to get a retirement job at a used bookstore, if anyone reading this knows of an opening please leave a comment. But not right away, I'd like to explore the zen of sleeping in for a few months.
