"I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965

Congrats! Someone's chop here, the secret of the fox: "One sees clearly only with the heart; what is essential is invisible to the eye." True in life and retirement. My third retirement, and I find I'm almost as busy as when I worked and you can still do what you love on your schedule.

^^^^^^ Ah, I found it: “The Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) is a classic computational challenge that seeks the shortest possible route visiting a set of cities exactly once and returning to the origin. As an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem, it is difficult to solve, as the number of possible routes grows exponentially with the number of cities.”
I’m thinking the Simplex algorithm.
Serious about crackers.

Glad you enjoyed it. My wife had a much more stressful job than I did and she said “I could have done this video”. She said this is pretty much how she’s been feeling for too many years now.
She has been watching quite a few of his videos. He really does hit a lot of points on how most of us are feeling about retirement.
Congratulations! There is a definite adjustment period of about a year, so don't get worried about what you "should" be doing or if you have found the right purpose. Just chill and take each day for what it is.
You will notice all the old people in the grocery store and Wal-Mart when you go shopping in the middle of a week day...

Congrats. If you think about it, I bet you’ll find you can be as busy as you ever were but you can do so now on your own terms. As the retirement years have gone on, I found I have to be even more organized because there’s more to organize between things to do and schedules.
I’ve been using OneNote and Outlook tasks to manage my to do list and I maintain Google calendar. I just started using AI as a productivity tool
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
