1 Learn something new

One of the benefits of being a product designer is that you're always learning new things, whether it's about your users, your industry, or your craft. Why not continue this habit in your retirement? You can choose to learn something related to product design, such as a new software, a new methodology, or a new domain. Or you can branch out and learn something completely different, such as a new language, a new instrument, or a new sport. Learning something new can keep your mind sharp, challenge your assumptions, and expand your horizons.

4 Start a personal project

One of the joys of being a product designer is that you can create products that express your personality, passion, or vision. Why not start a personal project in your retirement that reflects your interests, hobbies, or dreams?

You can also experiment with different styles, formats, or mediums. Starting a personal project can be exciting, satisfying, and fun. You can also share your work with others, get feedback, and improve.

As product designer I see that there is a way to bridge old and technologies to get combined in terms of creating impactful product. Now, I'm part time farmers and will be great to modernize, automate farming process through digitalizations.

5 Join a community

Being a product designer can be lonely sometimes, especially in retirement. You may miss the camaraderie, collaboration, and feedback that you had with your colleagues, clients, or users. That's why joining a community of other product designers or creative people can be beneficial for your well-being, growth, and happiness. You can join a community online or offline, locally or globally, formally or informally. You can also participate in events, activities, or discussions that interest you. Joining a community can help you stay connected, inspired, and motivated.
