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,

The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.
