My desired daily routine after retirement (Edited)

Want to post about my post retiremet routine. When I told close friend about it (didn't share about FIRE to relatives and other friends), first question he asked is why are you planning to spend time, you will get bored and can't stay at home etc. Those are valid questions.

Like to discuss in this forum about how you guys are planning to spend.

From my end.. first things first. I am not retiring from something but eagerly waiting to retire into something (passions, dreams, Health etc). 

My key driving factors for your early retirement (not so early at the age of 43)..

Quality time with family
Well being (Spiritual and physical)
Health
Passions

Following is my list based on these driving factors..

1. Wake up early and finish meditation and workouts before kids get up
2. Make kids ready, spend some time with them and send them to school (sometimes drop them to school if I am at home and not travelling anywhere). Most probably will end up taking lunch box also to them during lunch time.. I guess so. My wife will force me to do :))
3. Spend 3-4 hours at ashram training people who are interested to learn meditation (I am spiritual trainer and seeker too)
4. Come back home by lunch time and spend some time with wife before kids arrive.
5. Spend remaining time with friends chilling out, with family, making them sleep too (ya.. love to do it as my kids are still young at age 8 and 5). After 5-6 years, they won't prefer to spend time with us as they will have lot of friends etc. But will ensure I am also going to be good friend.
6. Chill out with friends, go for movies etc 
7. Ofcourse some long drives, travel to watch cricket (booked tickets for World up T20 in Australia.. will go if it happens otherwise will travel in India watching IPL) and some family travels to visit my brother etc
8. Have plans to go for yoga retreats to learn Angamardhana and more tougher yoga. And also some detox retreats in mind.

As of now.. these things keep me busy and more importantly make me happier and busy in positive way.

Health

Thought to write about Health related things what I am focussing on now. I strongly believe that health is very important in all phases of life especially from early 40s. And if we lose control over it at this phase of life then it is more difficult to bring it to normal. So my focus on health from last two years increased. And will continue spending more time on health related aspects. Before discussing on what I follow and wish to follow related to Health, like to tell about myself.. During childhood and early stages of life till mid 20s, I had very lean and under weight to normal weight physique. And being busy in IT field, didnt notice that body shifted to skinny fat mode and started feeling fatigue, tested Diabetes type-2 (border level), high cholestrol (Triglycerides). Within no time, skinny fat body started accumulating more fat (and less muscle) and not able to come out of chronic fatigue.  Did few diets and yoga whenever infrequently whenever finds time or to say exactly, when

Jurassic Coast and more importantly Chesil Beach

Didnt ever thought that I will write about my travel in this blog. Couple of reasons behind that are too much travel in UK, Europe during last few years and sunsconsciously mind is not eager to explore places. I have many other things to explore in the list. But my trip last week to Chesil beach made me to write about it. Last week planned to go to Weymouth Public beach with Jurassic coast drive as main attraction. Went to Weymouth public beach and drove Jurassic coast two years back after a month of moving to UK. Because of beautiful landscape around Jurassic coast, thought to drive again. As part of it, reached Weymouth public beach in the afternoon considering two young kids, not possible to start early in mornings.. ofcourse my wife is not morning person which is main reason :)  Spent three hours in Weymouth public beach. Enjoyed blue sea, lovely soft sand and as usual kids does not want to leave the beach after three hours of play in the beach. With lot of convincing, kids agreed
