Part 5 of my Throwback Thursday series, linking back to some of the core Retirement Transition How-to’s, looks at ACTIVATE, the fourth phase of the Retirement Transition process (detailed in my book – link here).

Activate is about getting started on living your retirement lifestyle vision – explore new activities, set goals, and change habits. By design or by default, your next stage of life will happen. By making choices (Assess) and then setting goals and understanding personal barriers, you begin Living the Life you want to live and Becoming the Who you want to be.
There were so many options for Activate Throwbacks posts! I’ve done a lot with activating my retirement lifestyle especially learning to balance Doing & Being (un-busy) and working on Habit Formation.
- Balance of Be-ing and Do-ing – May 2017
- Thoughts on “what do you do” – June 2017
- What is Retirement Life Really Like – May 2018
- Intention Versus Habit Formation – October 2017
- Living an Un-Busy Life – Aug 2019
And here are some tools I continue to use to help me activate from seasonal “bucket” lists to new things tracking.
I hope you are enjoying these throwback posts!
