I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I admire good ”planners”. It takes such discipline, and I lack that. On the other, I think about all the fun things that happen when you take last minute decisions. In the end, I think that it is all good if you’re happy about your life 😉
I hope to get there, someday. Unfortunately, my estimated retiring date still looks like the title of a bad Sci-fi book. But I am practicing with other (not so important) decisions. 😉
Oh geez, migraines are a pain in the b*tt. I’ve had them in my 20s, and there is no way you can plan anything while having them. *Sending you good thoughts* so you can get rid of them like I did… xx
I used to plan. Problem is, none of my plans ever worked out very well, and all that planning doesn’t seem to have gotten me anywhere. Now I plan as little as I can get away with… less chance of frustration and disappointment.
My problem with extensive planning is that unexepected stuff always pops out of nowhere, and then you have to unplan (is that even a word??) So yeah, I’m with you, I plan as little as I have to (like work and major events… ) The rest I leave to improvise as time goes 😉
Oh goodness – there is so much to pack in – I need to incorporate some planning – but at the same time I try to be flexible to things going wrong with the plans, so that I can switch to other tasks and not waste time.
Funny, I would have thought exactly that about you… You seem like a woman that has a lot on her schedule, but then again, I can easily see you bend your schedule when unexpected opportunities arise 🙂
I usually do a good blend of both. It depends on what’s going on. I have missed you. I don’t know what happened, but I haven’t been receiving your posts, and I love your posts. Hopefully we are back “together” again.
I’m a go with the flow person!

I pretty much go with the flow! Occasionally I do need to plan, but mostly I don’t!

I agree… There are a couple of things we don’t have a choice to plan. For the rest of my decisions, I prefer to go with the flow too 😉

Go with the flow. When you suffer from Migraines, it’s hard to plan, but I plan doing specific things at times.
