Thursday's Essay Preview
The first paragraph of Thursday's essay, "Not Your Daddy's Retirement,'" reads as follows:
What prompted this essay was a “Saturday Essay” written by Dr. David Andersen for The (Toledo) Blade
(March 19, 2005), entitled, “Retirement’s gift is the chance to blaze
new trail.” When I first read this essay, I was just interested in
another person’s point of view. I was closing in on my first ten years
of retirement, and I found his perspective interesting but much
different from my own. Although Andersen closed the door on one “life,”
he left the door wide open for a new one—“Looking out over what once
seemed an abyss, I now begin to see instead, uncharted terrain. The
journey isn’t over. My destination is still out there. . . .”
Thursday's Essay Excerpt - from the last paragraph of the essay
“In
conclusion,” Barnett writes in a summary to her essay that could just
as well have been written for this essay, “you can take control over
your time and get more done than you ever wanted. Although this requires
careful planning and learning, you can accomplish all of your goals by
not being a perfectionist, delegating to others, setting long and short
term goals, planning and combining activities, prioritizing, getting
organized, developing a realistic plan, keeping track of your time, and
creating a personal mission statement.”
