A Four-step Goal Setting Framework for

1. What Do You Want?
Identify what truly moves and inspires you, rather than what is expected by societal norms. Post-retirement, focus on discovering passions that give you purpose and joy.

2. Are You Willing?
Embrace the mindset of a beginner. Post-retirement is a perfect time to explore new skills or revisit passions, such as learning a language or volunteering.

3. Write It Down
Clarify your vision by writing goals in a positive and present-tense format (e.g., “I am excited to explore painting again”). This helps anchor your aspirations.

4. Take Action
Start small and celebrate progress. For retirees, this could mean attending a workshop, joining a group, or setting achievable steps toward larger aspirations.
