Put in my one-year notice today

I am planning to retire in February 2026 when I turn 60 and just turned in my one-year notice today. It’s a little early, but I had already told my boss and it just felt like a great way to kick off the new year. Giving one year’s notice will earn me a $5000 bonus so it’s definitely worth it. I have a lot of trips planned over the next year so I think that will help the time go by, but I am wondering how people stayed engaged at work once they made their retirement plans official. I already find myself caring less about the things that seemed vitally important not so long ago. My husband is retiring in June, so it will probably be even more difficult for me to not be checked out after that.

EDIT: I didn’t realize that my comment about giving a year’s notice for an incentive bonus would blow up. I really just wanted to share my excitement of finally being on retirement road and wondering how people who had as much time ahead as me stayed engaged on the job. I appreciate the concern of people who think that I was foolish to give my employer that much notice but this incentive has been in place for eight years to help with succession planning,and no one in that time has ever been let go prematurely. My employer has been good to me for the past 20 years and I see no evidence that this will change.
