I was very involved in my work, and it felt like I was leading an aimless life once I retired. Now I'm looking to work part-time, like 4 hours a day to keep myself metally-fit and self-confident.

He thought retirement would be great but turned out it really was not the best decision for him at that time. Luckily he found a little part time job that kept him active and gave him something more to do and he felt better almost immediately.

It will satisfy their need to work and also give them ample time to relax and unwind.
