I saw my grandparents go through 10 years of doing all the retirement things(beach, hobbies, social hour etc) to keep them more than busy. Then they kind of did it all and just started having social hour earlier and earlier every year into their 80s. Cocktail our started about 11:30 am in the end.
I'm starting my retirement and have so many interest/subjects I want to learn so feel like I can stay pretty entertained for more than 10 years but maybe not.
Dunno. I just have little motivation to put hours and hours into a challenging project that I probably won't complete. When I was working, I never had any side projects.
It's not like I'm sitting around on my ass all day. I walk the dogs, bicycle, rock climb indoors, and travel. I'm starting Tai Chi and just bought an e-drum kit. After I retired I spent a year renovating one house and have spent a lot of time this winter on another. Also lived off-grid in a forest for three summers and am doing it again this year. Off-grid ain't easy. Can't just turn on the faucet and presto hot water.
