Keep working! If that’s what makes you happy, it doesn’t matter if it’s technically “time to retire.” Or, maybe it could be a gradual thing. Have you ever considered freelance or consulting? Say you did 20h/week, that would give you time to discover new things that bring you joy, and ease into it. I definitely identify with what you described. Any longer than about a week of vacation and I start to feel anxious, so I know it’s much easier said than done. Best of luck!!!
I’ve asked myself the “what do you want to do?” question so many times and keep coming up short. It’s so much easier to know what you don’t want. Kind of like dating.
Not at this point, but when I can afford to not do this, I would either get a teaching license or go to graduate school to be a therapist.
No, I'm jealous. But, can you do some occasional, light freelance work? You can stipulate the types of projects you want to work on, working hours, remote/on site, etc if you are willing to turn down work you don't want. Which you can do! Also, how about volunteer work? Work at a shelter or community center. Foster pets. Tutor or provide career guidance and mentorship.

Volunteer! There are plenty of ways you could help others with the experience you have. For example, this was something cool Toyota did for charity a while ago instead of donating money.
Pro
I echo the above - volunteer for causes you love! Your PM skills will be incredibly useful.
Alternatively could you move to part time? It would still give you a job to do, but space and time to do other retire-y things you’re interested.
Congrats on putting yourself in a great position!
Yes, or find a board role!
