I've been past this point for about a year now, living on the profits of my business stuff, all of which is ticking away well enough that I can get away with a 10 minute or less "work day" most days.
As others here have predicted, I spend a lot of time outdoors (having moved to France specifically for the rock climbing) and building tree forts in the back garden for the kids. Pretty much any day can be a day off, so if the sun is shining you probably won't find me at the computer.
I also find I still work quite a bit (which translates to a few days a week for me). Partly because I realize that products come and go, and that these ones will eventually plateau then fade away, so I'd better have another one in the pipeline to replace them when that happens.
But partly because it's fun. This has been my hobby since I was a kid, and it's only an accident that somebody decided that we should start paying computer programmers hundreds of thousands of dollars back in the 90s. Had that not happened, I'd be an Engineer who programmed in his spare time. I used to spend most of each year traveling, and I'd find that the thing that brought me back to the "world" was never money, but the need to use my brain again.
I bet that even if this next thing [1] takes off and leaves me idle again, I'll probably find another fun project to work on.
