Most people treat retirement as a financial deadline.

But what comes after that date—how you’ll spend your time, where you’ll find purpose, and what kind of structure your days will have—often gets less attention. The HBR Guide to Designing Your Retirement Toolkit brings together exercises, worksheets, and audio guidance to help you assess your goals, test ideas, and plan deliberately. Whether you’re nearing retirement or thinking ahead, it offers a framework for making thoughtful decisions about what comes next.
