Very thoughtful article, Jonathan. I spent several years of transitioning to full retirement, reducing hours, declining consulting engagements, etc. The source of my hesitation to becoming fully retired was, I think, the fact that my work life was based on completing tasks and projects, while retirement is more open-ended, more of a process. This requires a different perspective or attitude that is still evolving for me. It is gratifying to read all the different and thoughtful approaches that are shared on this forum.
