I have officially retired twice, but that wasn't for me. I am currently in my third or fourth career - writing. Retirement just doesn't seem to be in my game plan.
In general, we need to revisit the culture of work-- which is, of course, exactly what's happening right now. Framing staggered retirement as a work/life balance issue would surely resonate with younger workers, and it's they we need to impress, because they're the people who have the influence to effect change. I'm not looking for this to come from the top (note Elon Musk's gleeful demand that Twitter employees return to the office and spend absurdly long hours there, only the most extreme example of the problem)

A dear friend and psychologist retired gradually like you describe. He's one of the smartest people I know.
