| Annotation | Retirement is a significant transition in life that creates major changes, especially regarding how a person uses available time. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of all retirees (1,565) from an international company living in seven southeastern states regarding changes in 12 use of time activities following retirement, and the implications of those changes for pre-retirement planning and post-retirement interventions. Findings indicate that among a primarily healthy sample, there were significant changes in 10 of the 12 activities. There was an increase in sedentary activities, no change in physical exercise or social activities, and a minimal difference across gender. Type of pre-retirement position held was a factor. This suggests the need for early planning and programmes on use of time activities and management designed to meet individualised needs in preparation for retirement and during post-retirement adjustment.
