I absolutely agree with this! I started doing it about two years after I retired - left it a bit late >g< In fact, just last evening, I also decided that I wouldn't make a to-do about telling people why I wasn't at home when they called; or why I didn't pick up the phone if I was here. I think the telephone is too demanding a master, and I am not going to be its slave anymore. If I've been busy all day, then sit down at nine o'clock to watch a favourite TV programme, and the phone rings at ten past, I am no longer going to feel guilty if I don't jump up and answer it. Is this a step towards liberation? LOL. (I am not by nature a rebel, so I don't recognise the signs !!!!) . In article , Roberta Zollner writes
Retirement - not really OT

The best question I get about being retired at 48 was, "Aren;t you bored?" My answer,"I am so busy I do not have time to be bored". My to-do list is longer than ever and most of the entries are things I want todo for ME now. I am enjoying my quilting and embroidering and even have some paying projects.
DD would do this...say I'm booked until--"March 5 2 PM"--I SCHEDULED her in that day on the calendar--reminded her the night before--and she was HOME at the appointed time--we went out, had a very nice time : ) Now with this 'uggie-wuggie' she said she would take me to all the appts--EXCEPT for her previously scheduled days (mainly Tuesdays). Fair enuf for me :) Butterfly (DH will do those)
