I'll take a different tangent on this... I think it is vitally important to develop long term interests on one or more things you can use to be busy in life outside of work. For most people this means a hobby of some sort. It can be anything, really. I say this because I have personally seen the consequences of not having this as older family members grew old, retired and set out to live the rest of their lives. Those who knew how to keep busy seem the happiest. They are cooking, woodworking, gardening, building and flying model airplanes, etc. The few who developed no interests or hobbies outside of work quickly descended into a sorry state centered around depression. Most of their time is spent watching TV and consuming the garbage we have on social media today. Their daily regime includes popping pills to control depression. The shed, for some, might be important for this reason. Not for the present as much as the future. It might be the place that allows you to keep busy and enjoy both mental and physical health as you grow old.
