When I retired I happily smashed my alarm clock and told my kids to not call before 10:30. My intent is to do what makes me happy which means NOT listening to anyone who tells me quit wasting my time. It's my time & I'm wasting it by sitting on the front porch with my husband, drinking coffee & admiring the nature we are surrounded by. You may have perfectly good ideas for someone who likes to have schedules or be efficient & that's great, I'll enjoy "wasting" time!

The oldest, 4 year old now gets it's contents moved to a sealed folder box which I found can be much smaller than the ones I used to use 10 plus years ago!

These are good. Not 5 hours good for me, but good. I'd add - don't configure your phone to make noises or vibrate. Pick a time each day, maybe twice a day, to return text messages. Unless you're waiting for the food delivery guy, or a planned called from family, there's no reason to answer a phone. Don't watch the news, don't EVER allow push notifications, and send every email that isn't from friends or about a business transaction to spam. Check email once a day, at most. Being less connected is a choice that brings freedom, peace, and reduced stress. One of the advantages of being older is that you really don't have to do anything at any specific time that you don't want to. Let people schedule around your life, not the other way around. If they matter, they'll wait, if they won't, they really don't matter.
