I expect to retire in the next few years, and shalmestere retired almost a year ago, so I'm giving more thought to "how do I manage my time?" (Also "how do I manage my money?", but I've always been better at that than at time. And after eleven years at Google, the money situation is pretty secure.)
I made one financial change in April, in response to Trump's attacks on the economy, the rule of law, and the US's standing in the world. I didn't want to actually sell assets when they were down, but I reallocated 20% of future 401(k) contributions to international funds, figuring the US will never again (in my lifetime) be as good a place to do business as it has been. Considering taking Social Security early on grounds that the current administration is kneecapping it and the Musk-rats may have figured out how to siphon off its remaining assets. This Times article says I'm not alone in that concern, but they still think delaying it is a better investment than most annuities.
Anyway, I'll need to give serious thought to daily and weekly routines: I don't want to turn into Jabba the Hut playing video-games in a hoarder house.
