Being and staying Time Rich. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here is an observation which should be remembered about what happens to everyone who is retired.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First of all one has more time as a result of not going to work. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Yet if one is interested in what’s going on in the world, and engaged in making social change, the the following will hold true: – <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

‘ I just don’t know how there was time for me to go to work.’ <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I know this to be so, as it was a case of my switching from a page per week to a day per page diary.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Though here comes a tip to anyone who’s about to retire – <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Go food shopping every day as you will be eating really fresh food, and can use the sale bargains on items you use all the time. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You will also get out of the house that way, and get the walking exercise which everyone needs to do.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Wrong Answer.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The other advantage of retirement is that one can work on projects \/ plan \/ work on events way in advance. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Being time rich also means I am able to read a lot of newspapers, and reports which relate to the campaigning work I’m engaged upon. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So when I ask a specific question about some issue or other, then it’s because it really does need to be addressed.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That said, one will constantly hear the following from those who are still at work:- ‘ I’m too busy to do [ or answer ] that right now. ‘<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That’s known as the Wrong Answer, as it slows down the work of those of us who are time rich. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is especially so if it’s a case of asking for the same thing time and time and time again.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It also means that those who keep saying ‘ I’m too busy’ will never get the potential help they need, or ever see the various projects which they are involved in move forward at a faster speed. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thinking Ahead – Planning Ahead.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The things one learns you get older, is that there are always last moment problems, or changes which need to be made at the very last moment.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Many of these come about because of changing circumstances, last moment emergencies, etc.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Yet a lot of them are the result of not being able to do any medium to long term planning, or thinking about alternative options way in advance of events.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Right now I’m look at and working up events some 3 months to 5 years in to the future.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For example: – What we can all do about marking 60 years since the Windscale fire this October.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So just keep all of this in mind, as it could well work to your advantage.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
