Last month I submitted my retirement notice and "paperwork" to my company's retirement office and notified my office manager that I'm calling it quits.
My retirement date is July 1. Somehow I feel a little at a loss on what to do in the meantime. I have yet to do a list of tasks as the date nears. The retirement office will send a draft on my retirement choice or actions than I would approve if that is what is needed. From my understanding, all of the processing should be completed by mid June based on other colleagues who have retired before me.
In addition to feeling at a loss, I feel also a sense of questioning my decision to retire, wonder if it was the right move, do I screw up on this decision? All these are questions that are swirling in my head to cause me to be in feeling of being frozen I guess?

I figured when I get the draft notice that my retirement is moving along, maybe that will trigger me to make my next steps in preparing my final retirement takes. But not yet. In my head, I want to do a timeline in the office to close things as I have a feeling the last month will be charged with last minute things to do with my job and prepare for the next person to take over my role.
Things I need to probably do is download all of my personal documents on my laptop to a USB thumb drive and clean the laptop of any of my personal items, prepare an autoreply for my email that I will no longer be with employer. Somehow, I need to put these things in way that will be fluid, but now it's all in alphabet soup mode. I'll need a trigger, so once I get the green light from the retirement office, it will probably give me more clarity.
Stay tuned, I'm feeling a little bit on pins and needles?
