If you're thinking about retiring, you're retired

 "If you're thinking about retiring, you're retired" - Chuck Noll

I saw this quote recently attributed to Chuck Noll, Head Coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers back in their dynasty days of the 70's.  But googling shows it attributed to other coaches.  Regardless, I like the sentiment.

It resonated with me, as I retired not too long ago.  We had talked about retiring for a while, and once I made a semi-firm decision (to retire in 6 months), my enthusiasm for work faded fast.  Just another form of "short timer syndrome" I guess.
