Seeking adventure: ways to maintain your self-esteem after retirement
Article Abstract:
Individuals nearing retirement can ease the transition by employing a four phase method which includes acknowledgement, acceptance, disengagement, and redefinition. Retirees must accept that fact that they are entering a new phase of their lives and make plans for activities or goals they want to fulfill. Acceptance of being separated from one's work means not losing the self-esteem and self-worth associated with holding a job and refocusing energies into new interests.

Get organized: there is a way to handle paper overload
Article Abstract:

Employees need to stay organized to avoid unnecessary clutter on their desks. A useful method for getting organized would be to replace the normal "in box" with four different trays for attending to immediate matters and for sorting out or discarding paperwork which are unimportant.
