I’m surprised more didn’t vote for this. Everyone I know is cleaning cleaning cleaning.

always present tasks, most of which have gotten chronically and repeatedly postponed or ignored. I also cook a lot more...and eat a lot more !

I'm cooking more and fast fooding less. This a good thing for health but not so good when I get on the scales. I'm a good cook and love my own cooking!!

Unopened moving boxes in the basement for two years called us to finally do something about them. Almost done!

Making & posting music videos on YouTube and I made a little book for my grandson, in addition to enjoying the spring weather. Organizing the basement too. Retired, we're used to being self-directed.

I just feel like arising at the same time helps me stay on schedule and feel like I am seizing the day. Also, I can NEVER sleep in when I try anyway.

I have tried to get up later but cannot stay up in the evening. I got up at the same time for many years while working

I'm retired, and unless I have a specific appointment, I get up whenever I wake up, and that depends on how late I stayed up the night before

Approximately, but as retirees we're delightfully flexible most all the time.

It is said that you should always wake up at the same time. Never has worked for me.
