As hard as I try to be well organized, efficient with how I spend my time, and as productive as possible each day, sometimes events occur that impede my success in these areas. It makes me crazy! I crave order, after all.
There's almost nothing worse (except for serious injury or death to a family member or close friend, of course) than having a dead car battery. It's so sudden. Unexpected. Unwelcome. There I was, prepared for an afternoon of meetings that I'd been looking forward to. I had freshened my lipstick, made sure I had a bottle of water with me, grabbed my bag, and jumped in my car. I turned the key, and...nothing. What?? I turned the key again...still nothing. Oh no--my car won't start! But I have important plans, dammit! This can't be happening!
Planning is a good thing. Whether you resist it or not, it's necessary for most of us to plan much of our days in order to get things done. But it's also important to be flexible and adaptable when unexpected impediments to our efficiency occur. (I'm writing this at the car dealership waiting on a new battery--thank goodness for wireless! And thanks, Tim, for the jump.)
