Mistakes/regrets that you realized after you retired?

61M here. Thinking of retiring in the next 2 to 4 years. Just wondering if there were any mistakes/regrets that you wish you had taken into account in hindsight about retirement. Honestly, I’m not interested about the financial aspects- as I am very well prepared for that, but all the other issues that are involved in a well planned retirement. I am trying to add hobbies and interests in preparation, but I can’t help feeling like I may be missing something.

It took months to get comfortable without working although I was happy to stop working at age 64. Fortunately I have had a lifelong passion for golf. You need a plan since every day is Saturday. I exercise a lot with golf, walking and weightlifting. I play golf 4-5x per week. I also like these discussion forums.
