AND ANOTHER THING: MAKE YOUR NEW TO-DO LIST

If you are the kind of person who lives by your to-do list -- a lot of people in white-collar jobs have to juggle many independent activities at once, and without a to-do list, you'll keel right over! -- then as retirement day looms, you will want to do to your To Do list the same thing that you're doing with your emails: Rework it completely!

You won't go from a 15-page bullet list of things to do, to an empty page! Believe me! You will soon have a 15-page bullet list of NEW things you now want to do -- things that will be fun, or just things that will be very satisfying, now that you have the time to pay attention to them!

And, as with your emails, your to-do list needs to be revisited from time to time, and adjusted as you learn and grow!
