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,
