It is truly stupid how many times I am taken aback by the simple fact that planning is a good thing.
I'm not talking your refinancing your mortgage or doing over your bathroom. I'm talking simple, everyday stuff. Slipping herbs into the water pitcher, packing homemade lemonade and some edamame for a long drive down to Phoenix, always remembering to keep lotion and lip balm by your bed.
These are the things that make a day work. These are the things that prevent fast-food stops, bottled water purchases, late fees, headaches from happening. These are the tiny doable actions that will make life run smoothly. More than that, they're the best way to plan change into your life. A menu plan and grocery list will do more to get that ayurvedic diet started than reading through a bunch of magazine articles and books about your dosha.
Go do one tiny thing that will pay off later now!
So true; for me, especially, getting $20 worth of quarters at a time for laundry.
ReplyDeleteWish I could organize my plan-ahead activities into 10 simple steps that I do each day.
