Two and a bit more weeks, and I will (early) retire from executive functions in business. And these three items will ...
.... play a more prominent role in my "new life":
- my scribble book where I make notes since a few months as to 1) who to (re-)connect with, 2) what to do (sort of bucket list) and 3) where to invest.
- a nice Caran d'Ache fountain pen for jotting down ideas, experiences etc.
- a nice watch with some special, personal context
Cheers, HSTE
Congrats, S! Fourteen years into retirement I constantly wonder . . .
. . . how it was possible to get thru 50+ hour workweeks for decades and still have a life.
Best,
Art
Yip, crazy stuff. I took the decision more than 6 month ago and I a full of plans ....
.... and new activities which are much closer to my heart.
Cheers, HSTE

One word of advice: do . . .
. . . not avoid spending money on an expense you can barely afford yet can't quite justify presently. And yes, I mean splurges like tickets for the Stones shows in July. You'll regret not making the sacrifice later.

Thanks Art....
I continuously doubt and question myself to those ends.... Much appreciated, Filip
Thank you! But let's also be honest: to do this (I mean: early), you need....
.... to a) financially afford it and b) have a solid plan "post retirement". And not everyone is in the fourtunate position to have a) and/or b).
Cheers, HSTE
Fully agree good points, thatās why I now make olive oil š
On a very small scale thoughā¦.

Oh, that is a cool back-up plan! I'll come to "olive-oil-country" and get a few bottles/canisters.
Cheers, HSTE
No, Iām afraid not.
Will see if I can ship one of the new harvest this autumn.
Cheers,
Dirk

The olive oil is from Italy
But as said, more a hint than a business. I have some 1000-1500 bottles of 0.5 liters a year. Almost everything goes to family and friendsā¦.
Thanks!
Itās not for sale then, like all good stuff.
Insomma grazie per la risposta, e se un giorno decidi a vendergli facci sapere di qua.

Congratulations!
I just stepped down from my operational role and retired to the board on Jan 1. It does feel great! Wishing you much joy and rewarding moments in this new chapter!
I want to add to your points a and b. In my experience, what is also needed is the dream to change and do something else with your life, and the courage to actually execute. I know many people with money and a plan for their āafterlifeā who never dare and do it.
Tipping my hat for your decision to do so!
All the best, Daniel

Thank you Micheal, and please, let me know if and when you ever plan to ....
....go to remote Le Brassus!

Yes sir. I visited there last June
I hope to come again to see the new factory and will let you know!
Congratulations to you.
The small colored accents on the pen really make it stand out.
Fantasticā£ļø Great move! Wish you lots of inspiration and energy to try/do new thingsā¦
And I hope, that you can also appreciate this position and can be grateful for it. Because, as you said, not many have this chance! Make the best out of itā¦ ā£ļøšāļøš¤©
Congratulations!
Jealous but overwhelmingly happy for you, I, sadly or fortunately depending from which side you look at it, have over a decade to goā¦
But as I see you gave great plans and even better company!
