Aging and time are mostly being focused separately in HCI. In this paper, we examine retired people's experiences around time through their daily routines with the lens of emerging time and design concepts from Human-Computer Interaction. In this Late-Breaking Work, we introduce a design concept based on the interviews with retired people about their time routines. Inspired by previous work in HCI on emerging non-clock time concepts such as plastic time and collective time, we detected several exciting spots for design explorations around organizing time in later life. Based on insights from the initial fndings around collective rhythms and quality of time, we propose an artefact (with two versions) designed with the guidance of positive design theory to discuss creating meaningful experiences. Also, we pose questions on how to form positive time interactions for later life.
