Your lack of preparation does not constitute an emergency on my part.I absolutely loved it.
Have you ever known people for whom every task/event/whatever developed into an epic struggle in which everyone of their acquaintance was forced to abandoned his or her own well-considered plans to belay the impending disaster?
Organization is more than paperclips and sticky notes! |
Well, I've been both Frantic Friend and Helpful Acquaintance. Hopefully, I've been more of the latter than the former, but, lately, I've felt more like Frantic Friend. I do not like that feeling. I am not the adrenaline junkie who enjoys the rush of impending doom. I like calm. I like to reason things out before I jump into them. Even when it appears I've made a snap decision, it's not snap because, in all likelihood, I have considered the various possibilities previously and knew what my choice would be in a particular situation.
One stop on the fall craft fair schedule. |
I am tired of working at DefCon Red or whatever you might call it. I'm rewording my friend's motto to assign the blame where it truly lies:
My lack of preparation should not constitute an emergency on any else's part.
It will take more than a red crate to organize my life! |
Failure to plan is planning to fail.So, it's time to map out the year, consider the possibilities, and line up contingencies for a schedule that looks like the Tri-D Chess board from Star Trek. That means I may be away from the keyboard for a week or so, but I'll soon be back, and with a plan.
This is an extension of my plan outlined over on my garden blog Savory Le Jardin. It will be a busy time, but the fact that I know a) who Bethenny Frankel is, and b) that she is divorcing her husband Jason Hoppy tells me I have time which I've underutilized.
What I've not mentioned that will be integral to the plan is the quiet time that I so desperately need: reading, listening to the clock tick, watching for the afternoon hawk to come hunting, and writing.
Sunrises are magical here on the farm! |
How will I record this master plan? Paper planner? Evernote? Google calendar? All of the above?
It makes my head hurt just thinking about it. I think some chocolate is required for relief!
So, off I go to organize my life for 2013. At least, that's the plan.
How are you living your Savory life?
