[quote=Anonymous]Plan to retire to something, not just from something.  You have time to make those plans, so you're not one day suddenly sitting at home wondering how to spend your day.

You might choose to volunteer some of your time doing something you think you'd enjoy and which also has social/public good benefits.  You might think of taking up a few new hobbies, ideally activities which will enlarge your social circle while proving enjoyable to you.  Learning a new language, and/or traveling more is a retirement goal for some people.  Learn to play a musical instrument, or renew your relationship with one you can already play. 
Some retirees with no financial needs nonetheless don't fully retire at all, but transition to part-time employment in a lower stress environment with a schedule which still provides for plenty of leisure time.  That kind of employment provides structure to a week, can often provide social interactions, and can contribute to a sense of having value because you are being paid for your time and efforts, even if you're not being paid very much.
