Slow down your planning
Greetings!
While I love strategizing about the future, I have learned much of my annual planning is a waste of time. I can never see ahead clearly enough.
The older me is doing it differently.
And it's not just age that has changed how I plan. It's things like a recession, pandemic, loss of loved ones and other surprises.
I am slower and more diligent over time with my plans these days, because hastily crafting my future has rarely profited me.
Blessings,
