The 'NOT Retirement' Framework 

The NOT Retirement framework models Passion Projects for individuals to facilitate a transform away from the dis-engagement often associated with traditional retirement. Intended for more technical audiences. NOT Retirement promotes the pursuit of three types of Passion Projects: Adventure, Achievement and Contribution. Individuals are characterized in four profiles relative to work-a-day life: Planner, Seeker, Over-Ready and Cut-Loose. Ambitions are classified into five categories: Family, Community, Cause, Personal Development and Income. An individual's 'NOT Retirement' is presented in a simple matrix illustrating these several characteristics. 'NOT Retirement' revolutionizes lives and the social relationship of mature generations to society.

Adventure, Achievement, contribution

What we learn from NOT Retirement trailblazers – those who have pursued adventure, achievement and contribution after leaving the work-a-day world. Diana Nyad who at 64 set a world record for long distance swimming (111 miles, Cuba to Florida); Anna Mary Robertson Moses, a celebrated American artist, who didn’t pick up a brush until she was 76;  Gladys Burrill, who ran her first marathon at 86 and finished the Honolulu Marathon at 92!
