More Structure Today Can Mean a More Comfortable Retirement Tomorrow

Structure refers to the habits and resources you use during your day. It includes having a predetermined schedule for your day, designating certain days for certain tasks, or using any other tools that help you organize your time. Structure can also include habits that you emphasize each week, like sticking to a spending budget or saving a certain percentage of your income. 

Adding structure in your week will help you get more done at work, complete more of your professional to-dos, and accomplish your goals more quickly. Structure will also help you save more money for retirement. Maintaining structure into your retirement years can help you avoid the boredom, inactivity, or lack of meaning that retirees can sometimes encounter. 

If you adopt structure into your week today, you can improve the quality of your retirement in the long-term.

Adopting structure will help you achieve your short- and long-term goals, especially your retirement-related ones. You will enjoy a more comfortable retirement if you:

Embrace a Structured Work Life: If you organize your calendar, you will be better prepared for meetings and deadlines. Habits like time-blocking and reducing non-work distractions (like putting social media on hold!) will help you knock out your to-do lists and expand your professional impact. The greater your professional performance, the greater your chance in increasing your earnings. Increased earnings translate to a more comfortable savings margin for retirement! 

Structure Your Savings Habits: The more regularly you save today, the more funds you will have available to cover your expenses in retirement. Establish automatic transfers today to set yourself up for your ideal retirement down the road. 

Maintain Structure in Retirement: Even though retirement may be a break from full-time work, it is not necessarily a break from structure! It is important to still maintain a spending budget in your retirement years. Otherwise, you risk overspending your retirement fund and putting yourself in a less comfortable financial situation than you planned!
