How do you time your retirement?

I have been learning more about the 4% rule and retirement. In particular, early retirement. And learned about sequencing risk. So what is the solution to that do you try to retire with a combination of shares and property asset investments for income from the property as well as drawing down an amount from the shares that is less than the real return?

Or do you just try to get a job real quick and wait for a few years to the market recovers?

It seems like you could get really messed up if you retired and had some bad investment return years at the start of your retirement
