How Do I Fill Up My Day Without Work?

Many people find that when they retire, they cannot fill up their day as easily as they used to. This is typically because your job used to take up 8 hours of your day. This new freedom can seem daunting and impossible to tackle everyday.

What can I do?

Many people find a lot of fulfillment in volunteering. Check out justserve.org for volunteer opportunities near you, or get in contact with your local homeless shelter or food bank.

Places like these allow you to not only help others, but make a difference in your community and create lasting connections with the people you meet.

Grab your spouse or one of your friends and make an afternoon of it! Sometimes local second-hand stores need help sorting and organizing, libraries need volunteers to help read books to kids, the possibilities are endless, but you won't find any of them until you start looking.
