The first rule for successful retirement: NEVER make a "to do" list. It's OK to do a shopping list for the hardware store so you have supplies on hand, but don't use that stuff the same day you bought it. No matter the degree of dementia, you will always remember which shelf in the tool shed holds those spare parts. Leave the receipt in the bag so that, 10-15 years from now, you will have a date to tell you how unnecessary that project really was.
