But changes in life-style can be made with forethought. Think ahead and decide which activities are least important to you and abandon them one at a time. Do not allow disability to rob you of important joys. Do what you can to avoid early retirement. Although retirement looks sweet through the blur of fatiguing days, it is often bitter once the pressure to achieve is removed.
Early retirement is almost always permanent.
It is lonely to be home. Many people are dissatisfied with early retirement. The demands of daily work weigh heavily on everyone, healthy or sick. Most employers will try to help you adjust your work schedule so you can continue to be productive. If your job, your employer and energy can be coordinated, keep working.
