Then after you “get it,” take some time doing the challenges if you feel so compelled. The middle portion of the book is the one I will have to look into further.

You don’t have to. Timothy pretty much illustrates his “retirement” style. You can go ahead and customize it for yourself. Tim starts his at six months. Use baby steps and start at oneweekend intervals. Then move it up to one week, then two, etc. That’s what I’m going to do. Start small, then as you get the hang of it let go of those training wheels. ◆ Make this year’s meeting historic in more than one way. WHAT’S YOUR REQUEST?
