Flying by the seat of your pants use to be a phrase used in the 80's. What it means is we could get away without preparation and no vision. In the 90's it became evident that with busy households, if you didn't plan it didn't happen.
Now the computer age has given us the right to have everything immediately. Information ( good or bad) is coming at us so fast we can't keep up! Preparation and flexible planning is vital to success. If you don't buy groceries, you'll eat junk from the local convenience store ( what's convenient about high calorie, sugary treats – not sure). If you don't plan your workout, you will miss it because of fatigue or internet catch ups . If you don't plan a holiday your work place will take advantage of your amazing nature and work effort.
Flexible Planning 101:
· Sit down on Saturday morning with your coffee and plan 80% of your week .
· Use a calendar, prepare a grocery list and go shopping.
· Write down when you will make pre-made meals ( ie: Sunday from 1-2:30 ) ,put each supper meal on the calendar.
· Write down kids / spouse activities. Mark in exercise. Mark in work day, hair appointments , dentist etc.
· Complete the task on the calendar. Mark it in with a yellow marker when you haven't completed the task, mark it orange.
· On Saturday have a coffee date with your life , see your success and missed intentions.
· Don't change the calendar, just realize planning is about success and intention.
So what happens when that ” Big thing happens ” the thing that is in your way to help slow you down !
